This seems to be inherent in the file format. Binary data is expanded by a factor of 4 due to encoding it as a C array. Even tiny changes in the data ripple through the array and give huge diffs. Uuencoding the data would only expand it by a factor of 1.4 although it would have the same problem with the diffs.
