Wily,

I'd like to know, is there a point at which increasing cache size yields diminishing returns?

Absolutely. A 32K L1 cache will hit about 97% of the time running Winstone. Doubling that to 64K will raise that to about 98%. Double it again to 128K, and you get about 98.5%.

These differences are significant for performance, but the returns are definitely diminishing.
