Oh, actually my previous reply was without pushing my thinking fully back
to what I was doing (and measuring) back then. I really measured on quad
core Xeons, as what I was looking at were the highmem helpers. Pretty
likely this almost exclusively covered the cold cache (all levels) case, but I
also think this is the most likely scenario.
