It shows differencies in ouput. Some of them are big - like an
additional line break - and some are so small that i'm not sure what
changed at all.
Here is a screenshot, 550kB (a picture is worth more than a thousand
words :P): http://www.sendspace.com/file/pk46i4
Basically, the comparison at build/out/test-results/index.html is full
of situations like 3rd and 4th in the attachment
(tabulature-grace-notes and palm-mute) - lots of green shadow, but
apparently nothing moved.

There are also some comparisons with text-only output (i suppose it's
about performance, as you said) - like this:

6.864924        

time    : 0
cells   : 2420945
/home/janek/lilypond-git/input/regression/lyrics-bar.profile    

time    :        0 (0.000)
cells   :  4026817 (-0.249)
/home/janek/lilypond-git/input/regression/lyrics-bar.profile

Any ideas?

PS Graham, i'm sorry if you felt offended by that kiss thing - i meant
it as a joke only, referring to what you said to Owen Tuz at frogs
