Michael, one request here. Can you add a commentary to each packed
struct that documents exactly what the saving was, and exactly how that
saving was computed.
Otherwize, the benefits of the change will pass into folk law - instead
of treating them as a tradeoff - the packing has a performance const,
people will come to believe that they are unconditionally good.
