IIRC, gdiff becomes faster than diff when the files are larger than approx. 100 MB.

I would really like to get an example that would create different output with gdiff -d in order to check whether the additions to OpenBSD are useful. From my tests, I could not get any differences but it is obvious that the OpenBSD code slows down the performance which looks like a significant impact, since the diff Algorithm from Douglas McIlroy is faster than gdiff as long as you use normal file sizes.

info diff performance explains it IIRC
