Andy,
1:2.5 is pretty in my opinion for ARM !
We will check out Mongoose.
Hmm - will try to get to the bottom of those cache misses (at a lower priority).
Thanks,

And Mongoose will take you to ~1:2.5 (scaled to same frequency that is).
Which I'd say is a fair result. Well, still could have been a bit
better, but it's not unreasonable given ISA differences. Keep in mind
that presented x86_64 result is for code utilizing Intel-specific code
extensions.

This is unexpected, because it takes *less* references to memory to
perform it on ARMv8. Because it has larger register bank. And cache
requirement is not that high for L3 to kick in... But at any case memory
is not bottleneck here...
