I guess you won't be explaining the cache line size issue and memory alignment too, right? :-)
As I said, thumbs up at least for the effort!

Ps. Questions for Java experts, how does the JVM (the best implementation btw) deal with cache line size and memory alignment issues? Is there any optimization in this area?

They sell hardware and software, I'm all about free choice for people, if you want to let them collect data and eventually blackmail you, well if you like it just let them do it.
