Nope, that's the actual result, I just verified the settings, recompiled 
and re-run, and it's still:

Fast memory bus + prefetch is a really good thing...

I also have vectorized float array copy and it's significantly faster 
than memcpy(). While memcpy() stays under 1 GB/s, vectorized version can 
reach around 90% of the theoretical memory speed for large copies.
