The introduction of additional mjData arrays for the implicit integrator caused in a shift in data alignment in memory. In certain combinations of machines and models, this change resulted in ~5% performance regression that appears to be attributable to L2 cache misses.
This change aligns all arrays in mjData to the boundary of a typical L2 cache line size. Benchmarking shows that this resolves the performance regression on a Broadwell machine.
