Will a large CPU cache result in a noticable (I don't expect build times
to cut in half, but I'd expect a _small_ change) change in NetBSD's
performance? I've managed to get my hands on some PPro 200MHz 1mb cpus,
and I was just thinking about things like how often the cache is flushed,
how other things might affect the cache usage. Even better, does anyone
have any good references where I can read about this (perhaps specifically
relating to NetBSD)?
TIA!
