Magically calculating both diffs at once is not possible. The visual diff essentially compares tree structures at a fine granularity. A lot of the markup needs to be added in to the equation to compare equality. This is too different from a source diff.

Is there really so much computing time spent on diffs that performance here is an issue?
Yes. Otherwise nobody would have bothered rewriting the diff engine in C++.
