This is what i use to diff 2 different kernels

- snip -
diffkernel)
mount none /d/kernel -t ramfs
cd /d/kernel
tar -zxf $1
cp -a linux linuxa
cd /d/kernel/linuxa
zcat $2 | patch -p1 -E -s
cd /d/kernel/linux
zcat $3 | patch -p1 -E -s
cd /d/kernel
diff -Nur linuxa linux
cd
umount /d/kernel
- snip -

This takes about 8 seconds (for 2.4 kernels) on my Dual PIII-933, 1Gig-RAM
