If people are interested in these issues, and haven't yet read the following paper, they are in for a treat: Reinhold, M.B. "Cache Performance of Garbage-Collected Programs". PLDI'94, ACM Sigplan Notices 29, 6 (June 1994), 206-217. (It _may_ be on the net. Reinhold works for NEC in New Jersy, I believe.)
