The reproducer for the scenario I have in mind is opening a diff, for 
the first time in a session, that references one of the larger .c files.

For example, from the current Emacs master, launch 'C-x v L' (root log), 
and from there move to

  * ab5bfcebddf..: Po Lu 2025-03-10 Fix bug#76805

and press 'd'. The first time I do it, in a session, takes about 600ms.

Quitting or killing the diff buffer and repeating the action makes it 
instant because the file buffer stays in diff--cached-revision-buffers, 
for some time.
