Package: mime-codecs Version: 7.19-6 Severity: minor Hello,
I noticed that the base64-encode tool is really slow. It does not go over 10MB/s on my P4 machine while the Perl implementation is very close to 30MB/s. Tested with: cat /mnt/c/pagefile.sys | cpipe -vt | perl -M"MIME::Base64" -ne 'print encode_base64($_)' > /dev/null vs. cat /mnt/c/pagefile.sys | cpipe -vt | base64-encode > /dev/null The VFS cache was full from previous reads in both cases, so it is not the bottle neck.
