Actually, you read that wrong. The ORIGIONAL ratio was 20:1, the
current ratio as it stands today is 64.8:1, so you are good for caches
hidden till you reach 1685 cache, but by the time you reach that number,
the ratio will be much higher. :) I'm guessing you are good till well
over 2000 caches in reality
