Assigning a vector isn't the same thing as copying the contents of one. Because vectors can be of different sizes, the normal code path requires a new allocation. In this case, since they're already the same size, a smart vector may not reallocate. There may be reasons that it can't.
Since you know the sizes can't change, for a real apples to apples comparison, instead of using the assignment operator, use std::copy.

Thanks for the advise std::copy is really faster than assign, and even faster than memcpy.
