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.

Andrew
