  IIRC padding stuff, not really. Alignment of each data member depends on its size. E.g. if a data member has 8 byte size, then it will be aligned on 8 byte boundaries; if a data member has 4 byte size, then it will be aligned on 4 byte boundaries. Now, if you have uint32_t before uint64_t, there will be 4 byte hole.
  
  Also, I, personally, think this optimization is not worth it. It would matter if we have, say, millions of outputs.
