I think what "fast" means is ambiguous. The way this is used changes the meaning of fast in the context of the uses. For example in DAGCombiner, this is used to check if it's OK to merge a store if it creates a less-aligned vector store. That's a bit different than the question of changing the underlying alignment. The unaligned operation might be faster to some unaligned expansion, but that doesn't mean it's still not better still to have the aligned access
