I believe Konrad is referring to the work Eric did for handling 
unaligned data to avoid performance penalties.  A similar optimization 
might make sense in the ASM version.

Perhaps if you were to publish some performance numbers (aligned, 
unaliged data) of the new code vs the generic, that would probably 
help.  Do you happen to have any of these numbers handy?
