  I have recently been trying to make an analytical model of the
performance characteristics of one of my programs. Now, the cache plays
an important part in the Multimax since it greatly decreases the number
of references to the main memory. (In fact I have measured that references
to Main memory may take as long as 3 times the time to reference the cache).
  The question then is: Is there any way at all by which I could measure
the cache hit ratio.
