The same is also true in the world of HDD's. A typical SCSI drive can recognize the access patterns of a benchmark and adjust its caching algorithm accordingly.
The thing is, I don't see this as being bad on the part of the drive (or microchip or compiler or whatever). Benchmarks are supposed to measure real world performance. If tuning your product to do well in a becnchmark doesn't make it perform better in the real world, I'd say that you need to get a new benchmark.
