Obviously not.
I no longer remember the details here.
I believe there was some question about whether `extern "C" memcpy' was
the same as the `std::memcpy' variant. In other words, whether the
compiler could safely assume that the `extern "C"' version, in the
global namespace, meant what the compiler assumed it meant when treating
it as a builtin.
I believe that someone (likely Jason or Benjamin) quoted something that
suggested that it was safe to make this assumption, but that we never
acted on that. If you file a PR, and send me email noting this
performance regression, we'll get it resolved before 3.1.
