Anyone feel like SIMDifiying [arraycopy] (hint hint ;). I suppose vasp is a SIMD version of [arraycopy].
SIMD doesn't help in copying data. And in any case, introducing platform dependend code is only advisable in cases where it really matters.
Is there a special reason you want an ultrafast arraycopy ?
