< One minor thing to remember that if you are dealing with lengths that are < not a multiple of 256 bytes, then the MVC loop method is going to have to < drop thru to an executed move for those remaining bytes.

My MVC loop included the executed last move of the final 256 bytes, so my timings include these instructions. In my case I had addressability to the instructions but I agree with Rob that this might be an issue.
