When opening big files it would be useful to collapse large regions of identical bytes so that more differences can be shown on one screen.

Similar to what diff does when it collapses identical lines keeping a few lines of context.

This could be a separate view in addition to Aligned and Unaligned views.

Yeah, I've definitely thought about that before, I guess it'd then also make sense to have a binding for expanding and collapsing such a section
