SOAR was from the pre-cache (on micros, at least) days. Tim was 
probably thinking about Mario's other papers (see the stuff about gc in 
http://www.wolczko.com/mushroom/index.html).

This paper shows that the instruction cache size is more critical than 
the data cache size (though the write-back policy is important for the 
type of gc they used):

These Java people might have some interesting ideas (note that they 
have been changing the links at Sun again), the memory papers in 
particular:

Vijaykrishnan Narayanan's 1998 PhD thesis includes stuff about caches 
for Java:
