Is there an option to align to the size of the smallest structure
member, or is this what the effect of EF_ALIGN8 is?

I would have guessed that there's a reasonable amount of code along
the lines of:

   struct foo {
     int x, y;
     char col;
   } pixel;

   pixel pixelarray[1024];

and it would be a shame to slow that down.  I suppose some sort of
concerted effort to do a spot of benchmarking might be the way forward,
or something.
