Actually, I take this back too.

There's no instruction to make the CPU flush the caches sooner, at least not 
one that programs usually use. Same thing on the other end: no instruction to 
make a load faster.

So the code that the compiler generates is probably fine.

All you need to do is ensure that it *does* generate the load.
