OK; doesn't seem worth keeping this open as a bug then.

Some bidi data structures are bigger that they need to be, this
probably results in additional cache misses.
Examples:

struct bidi_saved_info could  use bitfields for the bidi_type_t members
Same for bidi_stack

bidi_it could use bitfields for a lot of it's members.
