So the basic effect is that if the view buffer is all 0, we skip setting it back to 0? And basically, for freshly allocated memory, this skips a redundant memset? Can we explain it a little more in the comment?

Yes, it's redundant to setZero if the data is already zero. Checking will introduce some overhead, but it is much smaller than that of setMemory.

Is it safe to check only these positions? IIUC, ZERO is a valid value to be set.

But if all 16 bytes are 0, there is no need to set them to 0 again, I think is the point.
