Agreed, can we make `NumLoadsPerBlock` apply even when we're not comparing with zero?
Presumably this ends up with a sequence something like:
```
a1 = load i8
a2 = load i8
a3 = load i8
a4 = load i8
a = pack a1, a2, a3, a4 ; (yes, not one instruction)
b1 = load i8
b2 = load i8
b3 = load i8
b4 = load i8
b = pack b1, b2, b3, b4
c = cmp a, b
branch c ...
```
Which is what webassembly is currently expanding to if you gave it i32s that are align 1?
