==Performance==
A binary encoding is inherently less efficient for conversions to or from decimal-encoded data, such as strings ([[ASCII]], [[Unicode]], etc.) and [[Binary-coded decimal|BCD]]. A binary encoding is therefore best chosen only when the data are binary rather than decimal. IBM has published some unverified performance data, available at
[http://speleotrove.com/decimal/decperf.html], however as both packages are available as open-source these figures could not be verified independently.
