Before I dig a little more into wiki mysteries, I was absolutely sure that wiki articles were stored into small pieces (paragraphs?) so that a small edit into a long long page would take exactly the same disk space than a small edit into a short page. But I discovered soon, that things are different. :-) Obviously, I'm far from having the skill and competence to compare different solutions and different performances; nevertheless, I guess that history architecture of Google docs is different from the wiki's one. Probabily the DropBox history engine is different too.
