Haven't been able to find much information around on the PQ_CACHESIZE
option and "cache colouring", unfortunately, and was wondering if it's
worth setting it or not in the kernel config. Can anyone point me to
some further reading on this?

The processor in question is an Intel D840 dual core with two 1MB L2 caches.
