Let's hope the coders don't "ignore it" but > keep it in mind with future patches/code. "Just ignore it *and* see if the artifact goes away" means that yes, you do watch it. If it goes away with the next rev, then it's a cache artifact, and not worth worrying about. It can be very difficult to show that its just a cache artifact, and one of the easiest ways is to just keep measuring as new releases come out. If the artifact is not stable, then it is not worth chasing.
