Kompare is about the slowest utility for that kind of work. I often need to compare huge directories with a lot of JPEGs (cca 10 Gigs of data, around 50.000 files), and diff -r along with finddupes from perforate package are much much faster. I agree that 10 Gigs is a lot, but Kompare is unbelievable slow. I run a test with two directories aroung 1 Gb in size each, it took Krusader more than 30 minutes to finish the job. Needles to say that finddupes (wich is, btw, a Perl script!) was MUCH quicker - around a minute! My machine is 1.7 Ghz P4 (Willamette core) with 768 megs of memory.
