I don't really have a problem with this.  The first thing I look at during
comparison is the name of the file.  If it is a long file (long enough to
"more" into multiple pages)  that I know I haven't customized, I simply
"q" for quit, "i" for install and continue.  Scrolling isn't necessary
and consequently doesn't take that much time.
