No, sorry. I'm trying to decide whether
(a) You're describing general problems that I should know about but don't. (b) You're describing problems that apply to advanced architectures (NUMA) that I have limited experience with. (c) You're confused, and these problems don't exist at all.
Have you ever had the experience of talking to someone, maybe in a job interview, and thinking "this guy is either a genius or an idiot but I don't know which"? That's what I'm getting here. I hope that wasn't too honest! Sadly, I don't have enough time to delve any deeper.
