При сравнении двух 500Мб текстовых файлов начинает потихоньку тормозить и в итоге через несколько минут встает колом, лечится как нибудь или это особенность утилиты?Ну, типа, да, лечится. Рублями. Или баксами. Покупаешь оперативки в два раза больше и сравнивай файлы по 600 мегов.
Файлы различаются максимум на 100 строк, вот именно и их нужно обнаружить.Да хоть одной строчкой. Оба файла целиком (ну или максимально возможный обьём) в памяти висят и там "лопатятся". Если по одной строчке (слову, букве) из файла "дёргать" и "выщучивать" её из другого, то либо винт сдохнет, либо ты от старости помрёшь. Тут уж кто быстрее...
