Why is the miss rate often quoted (and used) in preference to the hit rate?
What will be an ideal response?
A miss rate change from 2% to 4% has a dramatic change on speedup. The corresponding hit rate change of 98%
to 96% has the same speedup but, psychologically, does not seem as profound. Also the name of the game is
reducing misses rather than increasing hits.
