Well, packed records are usually used when speed is unimportant. If
the
code is speed critical, packed should not be used for aby platform.
Therefore I would like Bernd to consider the use of the 'unaligned'
pseudo-function, ifdefs make code less readable.
The patch removes packed record for some platforms.
IMO packed can be removed for all platforms. It will gain some speed.
Yury.
