This is all nonsense. Accessing linear memory in a linear fashion is the way to go. You gain absolutely nothing by staggering memory accesses, because you’re waiting for memory to come into cache while the CPU idles, and since you have little control over how cache is utilised across a span of time, the whole concept of doing this to pre-load anything is just bogus, unless you’re doing specific optimisations for a specific architecture, even then there are cache pre-loading instructions for that.
