Comparison is fast, but making a copy of a buffer (or its contents)
isn't.  (If the buffer is large, that is.)  If you've loaded a 2GB file

allocate an additional 2GB of data.

Compare the "current paragraph", then (its bounds can be saved at the beginning of the fill-paragraph).

Or track the affected area via before-change-functions.

buffer-undo-list should also have the necessary information.
