I'm just saying the results you get (and which you apparently are interrested in) on your own code are inaccurate because you fail to take the supervisor mode code into account. How large these inaccuracies are depend on the type of application and the system environment of course.

As an application developer I'm primarily interested in my own code and not the L{1,2}/RAM handling in supervisor mode. As Bortas said, I don't believe interrupts have a substantial effect on the memory behavior of user-level code. And if the app is bound by disk I/O I don't think optimizations on RAM handling is going to have a great effect anyway.
