Unfortunately such info is hard to find. The discuss@x86-64 list is
empty. So, let me ask how this memcpy relates to recently submitted
for glibc one [0]?

[0] <http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.glibc.alpha/12217>

Also you are enabling rep. string operations for 10h family. Yet manual
says, that while they were improved, there are still various other
preferred optimization cases

Thanks.
