"The slowdown could be observed if non-SIMD version of the glibc-2.27 function
is used (like the one that comes with the 32 bit Slackware-current). 

....

Using SSE2 memcpy seems to avoid this problem"

Glib should select the SSE2 (or better) version of memcpy. If Slackware doesn't
ship and SSE2 support for glibc I don't see how this is Mesas fault.

If I'm misunderstanding somthing please clarify. Otherwise I'm inclined to
close this as won't fix.
