Before:

    test bench_from_elem ... bench: 415 ns/iter (+/- 17)
    test bench_set_memory ... bench: 85 ns/iter (+/- 4)
    test bench_vec_repeat ... bench: 83 ns/iter (+/- 3)

After:

    test bench_from_elem ... bench: 84 ns/iter (+/- 2)
    test bench_set_memory ... bench: 84 ns/iter (+/- 5)
    test bench_vec_repeat ... bench: 84 ns/iter (+/- 3)
