I am quite interested in them, but have not yet been able to measure a 
statistically significant improvement with them for the couple of 
micro-benchmarks I had easily on-hand.  There was some measurable change 
in variance though.  I hope to have a chance to look at them more closely 
in the next week or two.  With Joseph Koshy's hwpmc support now working 
with gprof, we should be able to look a lot more closely at how the caches 
are interacting with various bits of code.
