If you develop on something unix-ish valgrind's cachegrind will tell you about your L1 performance. On recent Linux you can get this straight from the kernel with `perf stat` https://perf.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/ (cache-misses are total misses in all levels)

The most basic question is: are you randomly accessing more then your processor's cache worth of memory?
