Are you saying that the order of memory access doesn't matter? Because it's well known in the computer vision / graphics / game industries changing the order of memory access makes a huge difference, especially if you have a cache miss.
This is very obvious if you have a large object that can't fit into L1/L2/L3 cache. In that case, random access causes many cache misses, which destroys performance.
