Looks like he agrees with me:

His quote: "No surprises here, as DIEP is more or less immune to faster memory
subsystems."

If you notice in the benchmarks, DIEP speeds up 1kn/s (148 to 149) going to
lower latency non-registered / non-ecc memory on the same CPU. Now double memory
bandwidth, you'll notice no difference. Only difference I've seen is from
decreasing memory/bus latency. Even then it is EXTREMELY small and one could say
it is within margin of error.
