If this had been raised when we first added the stream
support I'd have said yes, but adding padding would
cause backcompatibility issues now with new vs old client
and server combos. In any case there's nothing in our
RPC code in this stream context which makes use of 4 byte
boundaries more or less efficient than non-aligned data
