[MLton-devel] benchmarks -align {4,8}

[Henry Cejtin]

I'm  really  rather surprised at the slowdowns caused by aligning mod 8.  The
only way that this can happen that I know of is from wasting  some  space  in
the  cache and also not getting stuff in cache line loads.  I.e., if you have
2 ints which are adjacent then you have a good chance of  getting  them  both
with one cache line load if things are only aligned mod 4.

Did you also align the stack?
