How fast is a memcpy() ?

gimp · 2000-05-16T20:13:03

I am considering a system of storing client movements that will require copying a hunk of memory. In general it will be about a meg in size. If I have to do that 10 times a second sould I be concerned about it''s speed or is a memcpy of a meg fast enough for me not to worry too much? Many thanks

I looked it up, and the compiler they were using was gcc. Hopefully with a current version of VC++ you don''t have anything to worry about...

is it just me, or are questions like this pretty asinine?
memcpy() under what? vc4.0, vc5.0, vc6.0, intel c4.5, djgpp, watcom c11.0?
