Have you tried running under a profiler, to see if there are hotspots or
at least get an idea of where the time is being spent?

At least dd, cp, and probably several other utilities. It would be nice
to post an RFE to glibc to see if they can come up with a dedicated
interface that is faster than memcmp(), although that still only helps
us when targetting a system new enough to have that interface.
