I agree.

But still with intensive application, I got the same results:


  $ perf stat -r3 -e cache-misses:u gzip -9 -c vmlinux.o >/dev/null

   Performance counter stats for 'gzip -9 -c vmlinux.o' (3 runs):

               950704  cache-misses               ( +-  24.925% )

         82.619412905  seconds time elapsed   ( +-   0.072% )


  $ perf stat -r3 -e llc-load-misses:u,llc-store-misses:u gzip -9 -c vmlinux.o >/dev/null

   Performance counter stats for 'gzip -9 -c vmlinux.o' (3 runs):
  
               317054  LLC-load-misses            ( +-  11.758% )
               162634  LLC-store-misses           ( +-   9.700% )

         82.657099783  seconds time elapsed   ( +-   0.167% )
