Loren do you have time to have a look on it? The on x86simd codepath has
many of them...

inlined memcpy are triggered with -O3 iirc, so having them doesn't help
speed at all (see the threads about avoiding -O3 to get better speed)
I'll dig glibc to see if we have inlined variants available.

please check the attached code.
