I cannot replicate the directory tree with just the information you've
supplied so far.
I suspect that your original hypothesis is incorrect, and that the
original input does not consist of 1 GB chunks of identical binary
files. If some of the files are not binary, that might well explain
the problem: when the files are not binary 'diff' needs to read them
all into memory to check them.
Perhaps you can verify this hypothesis on your data.
