Uh, isn't that true up to about 1024 bytes (MVCs stacked)? And then after the MVCL seems to be faster.

I think I was at some disclosure meeting or SHARE when that was said prior to 2010 (can't remember the exact year).

I Remember that the MVCL is interruptible at end of a unit of operation.

This may have changed since the z/13s.

@Shmuel: you know that an MVC loop is dramatically faster than MVCL?

Surprising but true.

It appears to me that your requirement matches the C function below. (?)
I would probably just use C/C++, but you can see what the IBM C/C++ optimizing 
compiler generated.   It seems unlikely to me that there is a significantly 
better way.   You might ask on mvs-asm370.
