How do you think it will work with big endian systems?

Flipping the byte order in an integer is just a single CPU instruction. However the unaligned memory access is quite unique for x86 as far as I know. At this level optimizations per architecture are required.

I planned some 64-bit ARM development this weekend. Access to a IBM Z-series would be much appreciated.
