If you just want to see the results on some real-world cases (and don't
care about measuring performance), try installing bzr and using their
patiencediff test program as a GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF.
On Debian, it's:
$ sudo apt-get install bzr
$ cat >$HOME/patience <<'EOF'
#!/bin/sh
exec python /usr/share/pyshared/bzrlib/patiencediff.py "$2" "$5"
EOF
$ chmod 755 patience
$ GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF=$HOME/patience git diff
Other distributions presumably install patiencediff.py somewhere
similar (or you can maybe even pull it from the source, but presumably
you have to install some other bzr modules, too).
