...We could, but I suspect the compiler would be more likely to do
something like an inline memcpy() instead of a SIMD load then.
In Visual C the difference of a simple assignment and a vload is that for the assignment the compiler generate an unaligned SIMD load instruction, and for vload it generates an aligned SIMD load with the usual restriction: if this memory access isn't aligned the required byte amount an exception is raised. In general the performance difference is negligible, if any.
