*  Running without Opal significantly reduces simulation time.  We notice
that often the qualitative results of memory system studies does not
change significantly.

*  Use a faster machine with more memory.  Opterons with 4GB are
especially nice for running Simics/Ruby/Opal :)

*  Play with compiler flags (although we've noticed that Opal crashes when
using -O6 )

*  Profile Opal and find the true bottlenecks.  Without any evidence that
statistics gathering is a bottleneck, I wouldn't optimize it out.
