You don't have to use FillWord or FillDWord. They are *slightly* faster when
your buffer size is a multiple of 2 or 4 bytes, but I doubt you'd ever notice
the performance increase.
FillChar will be very fast and safe. It will write 4 bytes at a time, and even
if you give it an odd size to fill, like 23, it will write 5 DWORDs and 3
bytes. You can't overshoot the length if you give the exact size (hint: use
sizeof).
