Summary:  Arch-dependant cache size causes slow performance on 64-bit archs

Original Submission:  The hackerlab cache size is given in bytes.  On 64-bit 
architectures, this results in substantially fewer items in the cache, and 
seriously degrades performance.

The cache size should be given in an architecture-independant way -- for 
instance, x * sizeof(foo).
