Warp said 32 bytes. I thought that was way smaller than I remembered, 
but I went and variously tracked it down, and indeed, most of the modern 
machines seem to have 32-byte cache lines.  I think they used to be 
wider, like 128 bytes, but maybe I'm misremembering, or thinking of 
mainframes, or something.
