There isn't anything to optimize. Macro parameters should be identifiers. ;-)

I would use memcpy() since I know the arrays don't overlap. It is shorter, 
better readable and probably faster.

Why waste all that precious space, watch your cache and use Duff's device
/* original code by Tom Duff, adapted from the Jargon File */
/* I am not sure whether it is PD */
   int n = (bufSize+3)/4;
   char *to=buf1, *from=buf2;
   assert ( bufSize > 0 );
   switch ( bufSize % 4 )
   {
   case 0:        do {  *to++ = *from++;
   case 3:              *to++ = *from++;
   case 2:              *to++ = *from++;
   case 1:              *to++ = *from++;
                      } while ( n-- > 0 );
   }
