Thanks a lot for your testing and suggestions, which are really helpful!

Good to know this. To be honest, before I didn't note for "PA cnt"
metric, I checked a bit for the code, this metrics is very useful to
understand how it's severe that a cache line is accessed from different
addresses, so we can get sense how a cache line is hammered.

You are welcome! And very appreicate your helping to mature the code.

Yeah, let's give a bit more time for reviewing.
Thanks,
