-The goal of this project is to provide an easy to use [RFC4648](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4648)

+This project provides a base64 encoder and decoder in pure Swift (without the use of Foundation). The implementation is [RFC4648](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4648) complient.
+
+Today the implementation is rather simple. No fancy precomputed lookup tables, no fancy SIMD instructions. Therefore, there is definitely room for improvement performance wise. See also [Literature for a faster algorithm](#user-content-literature-for-a-faster-algorithm)
 
 Everything began with [an issue](https://github.com/apple/swift-nio/issues/1265) on [`swift-nio`](https://github.com/apple/swift-nio).

 I have no idea why Foundation base64 encoding is so slow on linux. 🤷‍♂️
 
 ## Literature for a faster algorithm
 
-I would really like to speedup this repository further to be way faster than it is today.
