If the size is going to be small std::copy or memcpy will not improve
the performance. SIMD instruction may have alignment requirements, so
memcpy may check for those. If the size is small memcpy internally can
use for loop after doing some checking. These checking can hamper the
performance. Feels like the current implementation is better.
I thank everyone for taking their time for this.
