Let me add that gcc (at least on the Mac) also pads stack frames on multiples of 16 bytes. If you write assembly code that doesn't align properly and that calls a C library function, the code will crash.
I wasn't precise enough; I meant the extra cost is in the three words added to each stack frame that is used only by the GC for continuation frames that are captured by call/cc. Is this correct?
