Actually, the FPU is worse than that in my experience.  I used to think
the ALU was comparable, but I guess not either.  But the FPU wouldn't be
used for any caching -- unless the developers really didn't know what
they were doing (which is not always uncommon as one might assume ;-).

The world is in need of solutions.  Unfortunately, people
seem to be more interested in blindly aligning themselves
with one of only two viewponts -- an "us v. them" debate
that has nothing to do with finding an actual solution.
