I keep hearing about how aligning XXX on XX boundaries (or similar)
gives huge performance increases etc..
Where's a good place to start finding out about these techniques?

Yeah, I've seen this. If you look around on the web there is some code for
cache aligning in x86's - I've never tried it though.
In the last plugin I was writing I got a huge perfomance increase by
increasing the size of a ringbuffer, of course that was only in one host.
