	Personally I think that cache should not be under programmer control
(don't flame me!). All the memory management models assume a cache of fixed
size with random age distrubution. If you start loading and unloading the
cache, the approximations for the MM models all go to hell, and you can
inadvertantly kill the advantage of cache.
