oups - lm-bench is pure unix/linux tool, not yet installed.
Is there something similar for Windows?

What i miss, is a well defined algorithm, to messure latency correctly.
The several implementations may vary a lot dependent on choosing random
addresses. Is there always a real total cache miss?

At least i got an idea of this huge latencies -
and it may be dangerous to hash with huge tables in qsearch.

But i guess it is possible to hide this latencies in some way.
What about PREFETCHING the hashaddress and doing few hundred cycles pure
register processing eg. with mmx, sse2 and gp-registers (or some read/writes to
often used and cached source and target blocks), before really reading the
hashaddress?

Cheers,
Gerd
