page.max.diff.lines & page.max.changes

Given the more efficient diff method explained above, is it now ok to bump up the max.diff.lines and max.changes limits? (running Bitbucket 8.19.9 with default limits)

Previous guidance was "Please note that increasing the limit is not recommended and will have a performance impact." explained further at link below:

Hi @Seth Carter 

While the 2 way diff method is indeed more efficient, increasing the limits still carries a potential performance risk. If you wish to make adjustments, you can consider increasing the page.max.changes to a slightly higher value rather than a significantly larger one. We recommend monitoring the system's performance closely after implementing this change. If any performance issues arise, you can revert to the default setting of page.max.changes=1000 to ensure stability.
