- I wonder. Just how much cache memory comes with with Daystar
- PowerCaches? One problem with with small benchmarks like those built
- into speedometer is that they tend to fit entirely within even fairly
- modest caches. Things might be a bit different with production sized
- apps, depending on their locality. It would be interesting to do some
- timings with larger programs.
