I understand this only enough to understand that it may or may not be a surprising and paradoxical result.

As a not-systems c++ programmer, it seems to reinforce the usual lesson: don't optimize your structures initially for anything but readability, once you have your system running and can pinpoint the bottlenecks, then try things like aligning structures to various things. But naturally always have a real-world-like test-suite to verify you are improving things.

Sorry if this is boring.
