Cache optimization is extremely critical.

 
Yes. And difficult. With each one of your messages, you proved you
aren't able to manage it. You should let your distro take care of it.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!  Totally wrong!

The gcc compiler can optimize programs only if if knows
the cache size in advance.  GCC can be informed of the exact
cache size by using the following options:

--param l1-cache-size=X
--param l1-cache-line-size=Y
--param l2-cache-size=Z

These options are automatically passed to GCC when using
the "-march-native" option.

Distros cannot do this.  Distros most likely use
the options "-mtune=generic -march=x86-64" which does
not pass any information about cache size to GCC (how
could it?).

Consequently, the programs distributed with a distro
are NOT optimized to use the CPU cache.

Consequently, you are an IDIOT.
