Aligned/Unaligned meory access

Why do people on stackoverflow lie that unaligned accesses are slow? It was true in 90ies, when 486 was young. But modern CPUs have caches, so unaligned access won't produce more than one loads or stores. And if you use ARM, you're a moron.

Now you're talking, x86 crap doesn't even have error detection on the ALU and registers. It's like people don't give a shit about data integrity.
