Does the idiv get elided out in the asm? (otherwise its & the jit const (Vector<byte>.Count - 1) on the line above)

What is idiv?

integer divide; is the modulus (%) and can take up to 22 cpu cycles (vs bitwise and which is 1 cycle)

Just conscious that its being compared against the byte by byte compare that's a lot of byte compares

So, change:
nLength = (IntPtr)(uint)((Vector<byte>.Count - unaligned) % Vector<byte>.Count); To:
nLength = (IntPtr)(uint)((Vector<byte>.Count - unaligned) & (Vector<byte>.Count - 1)); Is that correct?

Does it make sense to store Vector.Count in a local?

No, when IsHardwareAccelerated == true it the jit directly replaces it with a const

Yes on the & change as Vector<byte>.Count is always a power of 2 so -1 will all the low bits and will be the same as the %

Could be:
nLength = (IntPtr)(uint)((length - (uint)index) & ~(Vector<byte>.Count - 1));
Then you don't need the second calc in the loop? And can compare against index?

@benaadams, do the changes make sense now (in line with what you had intended)? |

Actually, unaligned will always be < Vector<byte>.Count so (from mask on line above) the & part isn't needed?

What if unaligned == 0?
If we don't do the &, nLength would equal Vector<byte>.Count rather than 0.

LGTM; thank you for fixing this |

Please take a look. When trying to reason about different test scenarios with @shiftylogic, these changes make more sense. Let me know if you notice any performance pitfalls or correctness issues.
