Hello,

In  most architectures (32 and 64 bits at least) memory moves of less 
than 16 bytes are faster done one by one. Just the call to the function 
kills the possible performance gain.

I had not fully checked you code, but I think you are coding always the 
UTF16 as little endian, and in big endian machines the UTF16 should be 
big endian also.

I do not have a big endian machine in order to perform some tests.
