I'd recommend writing a wrapper around base_convert, naming it hex2bin and using that instead. base_convert() is way too expensive for this purpose (you know that any hex figure is translated to exactly four bits, so you don't need any actual conversion - just replacement). This is why I suggested the wrapper - you can change the code at any time if you see it's too time-consuming...
