Hi Siddesh,

Thanks for the offer, I don't have any armv6 hardware to test with.
The easiest way to test is probably using the cortex-strings package
(as the patch I posted is for armv7).

https://launchpad.net/cortex-strings

"try-this -t memcpy" will benchmark the code I submitted, "try-glibc
-t memcpy" will benchmark the current glibc code.
