Depends on the program. My guess is that many programs will run much faster on
the o/c Celery because of its faster L1 cache. Many other programs will run much
slower because of the smaller size of the L1 cache.

As for the hash table, the village idiot can tell you that a 128 MB hash table
can not fit in 128 k of L1 cache. Hash table size is a total non-issue, unless
you use a hash table that's really really really small and it DOES fit in L1
cache, in which case it's pretty much useless anyway.
