I have no idea because I don't have any real data.  Last time I gathered 
any data on this issue was circa 1988 :-)

I'd punt.  I don't think we can depend on having a high performance 
unaligned access.  You could do a dynamic check of alignment, but you'd 
really need to know that they're aligned often enough that the dynamic 
check can often be recovered.

I think this is pretty good without additional data that would indicate 
that handling unaligned cases or a different number of loop peels would 
be a notable improvement.
