There are lots of other public base 64 implementations to test/check against. http://commons.apache.org/net/api-3.1/org/apache/commons/net/util/Base64.html

I did a quick performance check against migbase64 with the basic base64 de/encoding using this non-scientific benchmark. http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sherman/4235519/PermBase64.java

Here is the scores http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sherman/4235519/scores

It's a tie, j.u.Base64 wins the decoding, but needs some work on encoding side.
