Ok... I'm back with another speed challenge. This time, it's converting strings and files to/from base64.

A friend and I have developed code that is lightning fast and I’m wondering if ANYONE here can beat our times. (It WONT be easy!!)

Simple code for conversion to (and from) Base64 can be found here:

Our times follow, good luck beating them!! If you do, I’d love to see your code, if you can’t, I’ll show you ours. (Times were generated on: AMD T-Bird 750Mhz, 256MB PC133)
