That depends on the size of the attachment.  Emacs LISP does not have much
start overhead, but is much slower.  For one, I use:

   (setq base64-decoder-program "recode"
         base64-decoder-switches '("-f" "/64")
         base64-encoder-program "recode"
         base64-encoder-switches '("-f" "../64"))

but I'm biased :-).
