About 500MB on average, but there are some 2GB files as well.

If I do not interrupt the diff process with the MaximumDiffingTime
setting in the config file, it can go on for hours. However, if I set
the MaximumDiffingTime, it results in a very large data file upload.

Boxbackup already tries to run an rsync-style file diff by "default".
It is now a question of the current alrogithm's efficiency for very
large files. I am currently trying to get the modified distribution
built and tested within my environment.

It's in BoxBackup Subversion data source control repository only:

http://bbdev.fluffy.co.uk/svn/box/chromi/diffopt/

To check it out, get the latest Subversion from:

http://subversion.tigris.org/

... and run the following command:

svn co http://bbdev.fluffy.co.uk/svn/box/chromi/diffopt/
