Note Submitter: Jkuolt AT ipayone.com ---- I created a script that ran a uuencode, then a uudecode, testing their times. <?php $text = '...'; // 3000 Words generated by http://www.lipsum.com $now = microtime(); $encoded = convert_uuencode($text); $after_encode = microtime() - $now; echo "It took $after_encode seconds to encode 3000 words.<br/>\n"; $now = microtime(); $encoded = convert_uuencode($encoded); $after_decode = microtime() - $now; echo "It took $after_decode seconds to decode 3000 words.<br/>\n"; ?> My results on Slackware 10, PHP 5.0.2, Apache 2.0.52, and Mozilla Firefox: It took 0.000308 seconds to encode 3000 words. It took 0.000399 seconds to decode 3000 words. 3000 words! It's quite fast. And check out these results: It took 0.000781 seconds to encode 50 kilobytes. It took 0.001076 seconds to decode 50 kilobytes. ---- Reason: useless note
