I don't think we can test (much) more than 100 changes here (performance wise) without running into timeouts or going out of memory. It's already possible to make this fail with 100 revisions, that's why I wouldn't allow more with the current state of the extension.
We have being using an AJAX workaround for the relevant part of this anyway...
