> Hi, please consider this change.
> 
> We have different base_offset (4 bytes instead of 8 bytes aligned) with COH. This causes misaligned memory accesses for several instrinsics like String.Compare or String.Equals. The reason is that we assume 8-byte alignment and process one 8-byte word starting at the first array element for each iteration in the main loop. As a result, we have performance regressions on platforms with slow misaligned memory accesses like Unmatched and Premier P550 SBCs.
