Unfortunately, that depends largely on your platform. The best thing to do is 
to try all of them: call them in a loop on a data buffer that is bigger than 
your caches and see which one finishes first.

The difference here is not C or assembly but 'standard' library (written in C, 
used on many platforms) or hand-written code that performs well on your 
specific platform. And let me tell you there *is* room for improvement here. 
For example, some C libraries use byte-by-byte copy if compiled with the 
'wrong' options... Nevertheless, the standard library often is not too bad when 
copying a well-aligned source to a well-aligned destination.
