It would require hardware support - that's why I specifically asked
about x86. I know intel hardware has *some* performance counters, I just
don't know if it has 'cash miss'/'cash hit' counters that could be read.
If you read those values seldom enough, I think the influence of the
reading process could be relatively small.
