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
