Juan Manual Cabo reports a substantial speedup for such with this code:
------------
    import std.stdio;
    import std.datetime;

    int fibw(int n) { //Linear Fibonacci
        int a = 1;
        int b = 1;
        for (int i=2; i <= n; ++i) {
            int sum = a + b;
            a = b;
            b = sum;
        }
        return b;
    }

    void main() {
        auto start = Clock.currTime();
        int r = fibw(1000_000_000);
        auto elapsed = Clock.currTime() - start;
        writeln(r);
        writeln(elapsed);
    }
----------------

Isn't loop alignment worth doing in 32 bit code too? GCC (and Clang) align loops even in 32 bit code since many years.
