> FSRM finally makes it consistently competitive with SW sequences

Mateusz guzik says it's decent above 128 bytes, but that software sequences still win below that.



It depends on the exact distribution of sizes (and especially if the size[s] are statically knowable—e.g. if you are copying exactly 31 bytes, or something like an unknown size between 48 and 62 bytes, a SW sequence will still win), but it is now _competitive_ if not actually as fast (previously it was often 2-3x slower in that range, even when the length was not fixed).
