Didn't I post benchmarks earlier? 8 byte svalues are faster then 12 byte svalues; but if svalues are 12 byte anyway (by 64 bit pointers or floats), there is not much performance loss to use 64 bit integers, and much performance gain in any operation with integers >MAXINT32.

What would be gained with that? Waste less memory?
