Or the majority of pike users does not like using 4 bytes more for each and every svalue.

RAM is quite cheap now. It is quite difficult to find anybody running a system with less than 64M of RAM. CPUs are fast. It is 21st century, after all. Is Pike's target market 486dx33 with 8MB RAM? I doubt that.

There are a lot of other places where optimization should be done, and, honestly, I don't think that extra 4 bytes makes any _significant_ difference (svalue is 12 bytes and on most system it will be aligned to 16 anyway - for performance reasons).
