Besides there are plenty of other advantages to using a

This strlen2 doesn't require special alignment or casting of char
pointer types to some larger type. That keeps the strlen2
implementation fairly simple.
The implementation is only testing one char per increment. It
doesn't require the extra xor processing used in some of the
examples.
I haven't checked if there is a strlen for dchar or wchar, but it
should also speed up those.
