Indeed, we should align it:

Because L1 and L2 caches are aligned on those values.
But I don't want to code such logic here!

- /* Why 16?
- Because some CPUs need alignment, for example SSE2 on P4, & most RISC CPUs
- it will just trigger an exception and the unaligned load will be done in the
- exception handler or it will just segfault (SSE2 on P4).
+ /* Why 32?
+ For AVX ASM. SSE / NEON needs only 16.
Why not larger? Because I did not see a difference in benchmarks ...
