I'm rewriting this article, because I've decided it was a bit shit.
Ultimately, it costs more to complete certain instructions on a CPU that's designed to work with cache, especially when there are 3 levels of it, than it does to complete on a simpler architecture like the 80386. I'll explain it better at some point soon.
Hopefully.
