Why did you decide on disabling the side-channel mitigations? While
they make things slower, they're also going to be with us for a while,
so they really are part of real-world testing IMNHO. I'd be curious
whether this set has more or less of an advantage when all the
mitigations are on.

Also, why only 4 threads? Does this set help most when using a moderate
number of threads since the local and remote cost are (relatively) close
vs. a large system where doing lots of remote flushes is *way* more
time-consuming than a local flush?
