Go ahead.. Btw, I wouldn't worry too much about the false sharing on a 128-byte cache-line. Let's face it, we're unlikely to see many P4+ class machines with less than 128MB of memory, at which time it starts to get unlikely that we'll see all that many horrible ping-pong schenarios between CPU's - touching alternate physical pages simply isn't all that likely.
