Here's my laptop data.  L1 seems to be 4 clocks.  L2 9 clocks, memory
at 130ns.  This is a PIII/750mhs machine with SDRAM.  I just ran it again
to produce these numbers.



Host                 OS   Mhz   L1 $   L2 $    Main mem    Guesses
--------- -------------   ---   ----   ----    --------    -------
scrappy    Linux 2.4.20   744 4.0370 9.4300       130.2

Is the above what you want?
