You don't need to benchmark anything. Just mention that it will waste
memory and also give *some* ballpark estimate on how much. Just looking
at your laptop's /proc/slabinfo would be a good start.
Oh, and it wouldn't hurt to find out when and why the minimal slab
alignment got dropped down to 8 bytes. I _thought_ it was higher at some
point. Presumably there was a good reason for it and you're now undoing
part of it.
