For X86 and X64 architectures, which permit unaligned loads and stores, unaligned little endian buffer and arithmetic types use regular loads and stores when the size is exact. This makes unaligned little endian buffer and arithmetic types significantly more efficient on these architectures.(Pull request from Jeremy Maitin-Shepard) Docs updated, but timing results have not yet been updated.
