Maybe, maybe not.
It rather depends on the lengths involved (the code doesn't seem to be in the
main tree).

The cost of the conditionals and the misaligned length/start for the
memset() could easily overwhelm any apparent saving.

A memset() of a constant whole number of words is going to be significantly
faster than the partial one.
