Comment:

 I don't really see what we can do about this. There are numerous reasons
 why code layout affects performance (e.g., see
 [[http://llvm.org/devmtg/2016-11/#talk2|this talk]] from the LLVM
 developers meeting) and tackling most of them is Very Hard.

 We can continue to chat on this ticket, but I'm going to close it as its
 not really actionable as-is.
