I need to routinely find the diffs between two multigigabyte text files (exporting a set of FoxPro tables to a PostgreSQL database without doing a complete dump/reload each time, in case you were wondering). GNU diff from the base system and from ports chokes. The textproc/2bsd-diff works OK, but is glacially slow.
Multigigabyte? Find another approach to solving the problem, a text-base diff is going to require excessive resources and time. A 64-bit platform with 2 GB of RAM & 3GB of swap requires ~1000 seconds to diff ~400MB.
