The thought is that when the length is equal to 44 bytes, we could do the vector loop once before tail processing. The rest of the logic seems to allow that. 44 bytes of base64 -> 33 bytes decoded. So a 32 byte write in vector loop would still be ok and we wont be writing beyond. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/12126
