This sound a little bit braindamaged... I would put it into a PostgreSQL Database as I do it here (1.2 TByte) and to get all versions of ONE TEXT it is ONLY ONE CALL. It takes only some miliseconds even on texts which have 10-50 kBytes (arround 20 kByte in the middle) and then I can diff it inside my php5 scripts how I like.
