@Atoptool,
This PR will decrease costs copying, moving, and creating object-structures only for common 64bit processors due to the 8-byte data alignment.
Smaller size structure or class, higher chance putting into CPU cache. Most processors are already 64 bit, so the change won't make it any worse.
