This is TERRIBLE.  Things should be aligned.  With a 4K array (so you fit
in L1), the difference is about 60%.  Going to an alignment mod 8 helps
for doubles, but only for doubles.  I would say that everything else should
definitely be aligned mod 4 on the theory that one doesn't have many 1-byte
things on the stack.  Is this hard.
