Sort of , its heavily broken down into sets which helps prevent a single
source dominating , items in cache have very short durations and the cache
is frequently flushed. I was referring to paging based LRU which is a
different kettle of fish and has little correlation I don't think LRU as an
algorithm is bad just its use in paging on modern systems.
