 Actually, the two copy methods have the same performance, since each
 one uses memcpy. BlockCopy is slower because it contains three internal
 calls (for argument checking) while Array.Copy contains only one. If you
  change 128 to 1280 (so copying time dominates), the two methods have
 approx the same performance.

+No, because Array.Copy must check arguments. BlockCopy only works 
+with primative structures, otherwise, it does not do any checks.
