Did you try with a size where there's a decent remainder, say 124
bytes? FWIW, one of the cases has 112 bytes, and I think that is
aligned memory meaning we'll do the first 64 in the SIMD loop and have
to do 48 bytes in the byte-at-a-time loop. If you had the loop Michael
mentioned, that would instead be 6 loops of size_t-at-a-time.
