You can use `ios_copy_bytes` from `ios.pk` pickle. You need to use recent
commit on master.

```poke
fun ios_copy_bytes = (int<32> from_ios, int<32> to_ios,
                      offset<uint<64>,B> from,
                      offset<uint<64>,B> to,
                      offset<uint<64>,B> size) void
```

You can copy your 45 KiB file to a memory ios (you can create one either using
`.mem` dot-command or using `open (*a-unique-name*)` function), and then
run your benchmark against this new IOS.

Other option is to use `pk-bin2poke` script to create a literal Poke array
(if you install the poke, it'll be installed in `$PREFIX/usr` directory).
And then map it in a memory IOS using usual syntax (see
testsuite/poke.pickles/id3v1-test.pk as an example).

Third option is to send the file and benchmark to the mailing list.


Good luck,
