Why iplimage's widthStep is different from original image width?

I know widthStep is the minimum number of 4's multiple which is larger than image width. But I can't understand WHY. Why they waste the memory to make iplimage's width 4's multiple? What I want to know is the ADVANTAGE if we use 4's multiple number of image width. I want know it concretely. Please help me.
