Are there many compilers left that actually perform a call here
instead of inlining code? Some people will smugly call that ricing,
but it would be interesting to bench this for small and large images.
As you mention "P frames", that might be smaller widths here, where
the overhead of checking the various aligments etc in a C lib memcpy
is larger.
