1024 K is still relatively small compare to a heap size of 512M. The fact is that Duron is really the low-end of AMD processor family. It shouldn't be used for any serious computing purpose. I'd like to suggest doing the test at least on an Athlon. Hardware is really cheap nowadays.

This is even worse for my AMD Duron cache size : 64 KB but on the other machine I have : cache size : 1024 KB and still get the same results.
