Probably Yuri should answer that. I am not sure, but I think that the
problem is that alignment check is very slow. Maybe it could be done
with a compiler directive, so that you can choose to have slower, but
safer, code, or if you want to manually control all places where
potential unalignment may occur and have maximum speed. This is better
discussed in the fpc-devel mailling list.
