If I'm not mistaking, on most processors there is a gain from aligning of data, whilst things still work if data is not aligned. Thus, it pays to build

With some processors (particularly RISC type processors), attempting to read unaligned data results in a program crash. Probably Intel x86 is not one of those processors.
