Comment (by nickm):

 If you like bug12169_faster_memeq, see bug12169_fastest_memeq.  It uses
 inline optimized implementations for common sizes to try to make the code
 run even faster.  For those sizes, it's going 5-13x faster than it was
 when we started.

 Obviously, these all need really close review.
