Just FYI, Linux results on a VM are still valid -- many people 
(including myself) only use Linux on a VM, so even though it's not a 
definitive win against glibc memcpy on Linux, the end result is, it's 
still faster for those users :)

I won't add much, since I'm using a Mac, and those numbers have already 
been posted.

But I wanted to say don't discount those findings off-hand.
