No mom it's not a "messy pile of clothes on my chair" it's an L1 cache for fast random access to my frequently used clothes in O(1) time. It needs to be big to avoid expensive cache misses (looking in my closet). I NEED to be minimizing latency, this is important to me. Please.

I like the joke, but my pile of clothes is entirely about things that I want to reuse. They're too dirty to hang back up in the wardrobe, but too clean to throw in the dirty clothes basket. I'm sure there's an analogy someone could make for this, but Async's analogy doesn't work in my case.

    Why? Can they smear other clothes?

    If I wear a shirt for like 30 min and it’s not really dirty yet, I’ll hang it on the for right facing left. All of the clean clothes face right so I know at a glance. When I wear it again it’s dirty no matter what.
