Hi,

The `diff` command in `diffutils` can compare the difference between  two 
directories. 

However, for large directories (the size for each file is small), when 
traversal through them, `diff` command will eat up all the system memory. My 
computer is 16GB RAM. And I believe this issue still exist for system with 32GB 
or 64GB RAM.

I would suggest that it can use more memory efficient algorithm to compare the 
difference between directories.

Regards!!!

Evan Greenup.
