Re:JITs are un-ergonomic by pizlonator on Sunday March 29, 2020 @03:25PM (#22721835)
I wish that was true but my data says it isn't:

- A verbose SIMD copy loop is often faster even on modern Intel CPUs that have the more modern rep implementation.

- A simple byte copy loop will beat both SIMD and rep when you're copying smaller amounts at a time.
