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.

You're saying this as if there isn't multiple piles mixed fresh and dirty clothes with an O(n^2) complexity to find something you want.

I personally prefer to have my clothes indexed in an ordered storage so I know exactly which row in the drawers clean shirts are in.

    That makes me think of how much it annoys me when things are really messy and disorganized in our house, which is very often.

    It's like there's no indexing. Where is thing X that somebody else used last? Time to start a fresh empty-cache brute force search of the whole space!
