Dear Larry Johnson,
In message 49A177D8.1050702@acm.org you wrote:
Although load address and image start address are same address, bootm command always does memmove. That is unnecessary memmove and can be taken few milliseconds (about 500 msec to 1000 msec). If skip this memmove, we can reduce the boot time.

Sorry for the late reply, but would it be better to put the test of source == destination into the memmove_wd() function?
Yes, indeed.
Can you please send a patch?
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk

This was an amazing creation using small squares of compressed
vegetable matter on which letters were made by means of small carbon
particles from a stylus, giving an effect similar to the traditional
word-processor screen. It seemed amazingly portable and I never once
saw him have to change the batteries.
