> We are using 30 mb large byte[] string represented as base64 binary type in 
> shema and it is causing out of memory for us on server. Basically converting 
> from base64 string to byte[] is not very efficient.
> JavaBase64Holder.java is using: vBytes = v.getBytes("UTF-8") and according to 
> http://www.evanjones.ca/software/java-string-encoding-internals.html it uses 
> base64 size * 4. In our case where there is 30mb large byte[] it uses around 
> 160 mb just for converting string into byte[].
> Would it be possible to use v.getBytes("ASCII")? This would reduce the memory 
> usage when converting from string to byte[] by 4 times.
> According to http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#base64Binary it should use 
> only ASCII chars anyway.
