Hang on big .ods files.

When I try two almost empty files I get a nice diff, but when I try a real-world example, it hangs.
I can provide examples, if wanted.

Github won't let me upload .ods files.

+1 to this @na-ka-na

An incredibly helpful feature would also be to set a maximum diffs limit, so the process does not hang until it's finished writing to stdout.

I would actually use --max_diffs=1. My current use case is to simply check if there are any diffs at all based on the criteria, and for large files with a lot of diffs this is very slow. I would then run a full diff if interested in the output.

Same issue here. I had to convert my files to xlsx get it to work.
