This is a place where you can post jokes, memes, humor, etc. related to programming!
For sharing awful code theres also Programming Horror.
It takes 2 pause cycles, that's essentially O(1) compared to a cache miss.
You could implement in-closet indexing instead to make the cache misses hurt less, trading off some extra insertion time but needing less memory for the cache which is much more expensive cost wise. At this point you're storing almost your whole DB in the cache and your room's a mess.
