Dear friends,

Maybe, someone finds this information useful:

just now, i did a quick comparison of the various
options for base64 codecs. It shows that NaviServer's
built-in ns_base64encode  is very fast:
it is up to a factor of 1.000 faster than the Tcl-only
version of base64::encode, and even a factor of 10
faster than base64::encode based on Trf (Trf 2.1.4).
While a big difference relative to the plain Tcl version
is expected, the improvement over the C-based Trf
is remarkable.

The results are measured with the latest version of
NaviServer from bitbucket under Mac OS X 10.9.5

Using ns_base64encode reduces the external
dependencies and is by far the fastest version.

all the best
