Comparing the corrected latency figures (+9500ns) of your MPC8541E with
my Ocotea-Board (AMCC 440 GX at 533 MHz) gives:

Ocotea   |        3575|        7438|       24474|       0|    00:10:50
MPC8541E |        2570|        5240|       18200|       0|

This scales rather well with the CPU clocks 533/800. L1 and L2 caches
and the memory interface seem almost identical.
