File src/utils.c:

Line 378:  * one iteration of \a src, so should be more optimal than osmo_strlcpy().
I really don't think we need to worry about this, given the number of string copies we typically do in protocol processing (not many, all our protocols are binary, except maybe ctrl interface).  Also, given the fact that the strlen() call pre-fetches the entire string data into the cache, not sure how much perfomance difference there is n practise?

Overall I'm not sure if we should proliferate various str*cpy() functions or rather use one (osmo_strlcpy) everywhere and migrate related code.
