src/java.base/share/classes/jdk/internal/foreign/SegmentBulkOperations.java line 208:

> 206:         final long limit = fromOffset + longBytes;

@minborg Does it help to hoist the calls to `segment.sessionImpl()` + `segment.unsafeGetBase()` + `segment.unsafeGetOffset()` + `!Architecture.isLittleEndian()` and reusing those throughout the different strides?
