I understand your points and agree with just about everything. My post was off topic, intentionally so. If we talk about practicalities, the problems with xxd, if there are problems at all, are not its speed, but the size of the text file it produces (~6x the size of original binary) and its availability. I don't know to which package it belongs in typical Linux or BSD distributions, but at least on Windows/msys2 it is part of Vim - rather big package for which, apart from xxd, I have no use at all.
