enough. I wonder if we can do something to improve that situation in the time we have. I considered a bunch of ideas
butcould only find one that fits with slru.c's simplistic locking while tracking recency. What do you think about a
hybridof SLRU and random replacement, that retains some characteristics of both? You could think of it as being a bit
likethe tournament selection of the genetic algorithm, with a tournament size of (say) 8 or 16. Any ideas on how to
evaluatethis and choose the number? See attached.

Maybe instead of fully associative cache with random replacement we could use 1-associative cache?
i.e. each page can reside only in one spcific buffer slot. If there's something else - evict it.
I think this would be as efficient as RR cache. And it's soooo fast.
