Create a benchmark that explores the size of the cache to number of bugs found. #36

It could be rather useful to know this, and can possibly be displayed as some kind of graph. Expectation is that the larger your cache, the un-flushed cache-lines you get and the more likely you are to see bugs. Keeping the write-back reordering buffer a fixed size isn't a bad idea too, but perhaps making it larger would do some good.

Also, maybe a standard of 64MBs total of Cache would be okay (1M of cache lines).
