Description

Base64.isArrayByteBase64() method is inefficient for large byte arrays because it uses a temporary copy of the data to eliminate whitespace.

This is very wasteful for large arrays, and is completely unnecessary.

The code should just add a check for whitespace as part of the main loop.
