[Bug c++/21316] New: pointer lookup cache misses more frequent

[kpmassey at gmail dot com]

The sample code runs 30-50% slower on my machine when compiled with 3.4.3 as
opposed to 3.3.4.  It creates some objects and then references them via pointer
lookup, so my best guess is that somehow 3.4.3 binaries have many more cache misses.

I have noticed the severe regression on AMD Athlon 3200 running linux 2.6, with
compile options -O3 -march=k8.  Other options (e.g. -O2 instead) don't help.
