In one of Martin Thompsons talks he gave an overview of the pyramid of 
speed, working from CPU registers out to remote storage, showing how 
storage classes along the way get progressively slower to access. He also 
gave some approximate numbers to each storage class, but I can't find a 
document online that contains this information, or the right section of one 
of his talks on youtube to extract this from. Can anyone help me fill in 
the Xs in the table below? Obviously it depends on the exact hardware, but 
approximate figures will do, its just to illustrate a point and get a feel 
for how this scale operates. Thanks.

CPU Register - X nanoseconds
L1 Cache - X nanoseconds
L2 Cache - X nanoseconds
L3 Cache - X nanoseconds
RAM - X nanoseconds
Local Storage - X milliseconds
Remote Storage - X milliseconds
