Your observation is consistent with a talk Dick Sites (the designer of the Alpha) gave once.
They'd instrumented an entire NT system (not just some application),
and found that the biggest single thing they could do to increase real world performance
was drastically increase the size of the cache.

I also take some issue with another post asserting that all Intel has to do is
unearth some prior VLIW work and bring out a product. Have other people ever worked
on one of those quick-fix projects? The probability of slippage is large, and Transmeta
will not be sitting on their hands for the next 9 or whatever months.
