I'm not 100% certain what "alignment duration" is measuring exactly in the context of unaligned checkpoints -- however, even with unaligned checkpointing each operator still has to wait until all of the barriers are present in the operator's input queues. It doesn't have to wait for the barriers to be aligned, but they do have to all be present in order for the operator to know which in-flight messages to include in the checkpoint.
