I'm working of a Lightspeed Pascal program which basically juggles
single and double bytes from lookup tables into a coherent order.
I'm using the BlockMove call to accomplish this.  How efficient
is BlockMove for things like this?

I realize that the ideal thing to use would be assembler and MOVE.*
statements, but I'm not a pro yet.
