Hmm.  So basically the idea is to stuff everything into a

I read that claim, but a union with keyed type would also achieve 
(or outdo) the compactness and thus cache locality.  It seems 
like the flat layout of fields and its consequent streamlining of 
how to think about access is a big part of it.
