Ah ok.. Sounds good. Do you think profiling takes the L1/L2 cache into
consideration? Such as a profiled exe on a Pentium 3 (fast 256K L2 cache)being
run on a Celeron-2 (128k of slower L2) CPU may be slower than if it was profiled
on the Celeron-2 itself. Do you think it's possible that could happen? Also what
about the Katmai vs Coppermine P3's (or tbird vs duron), where the katmai has
512K 1/2 speed L2 vs coppermine's full speed 256K L2?
