Thanks! Sébastien, can you make something out of this
that helps us better or quicker? Consider that all of
our machines are 68020 and up, none Coldfire, and most
are probably 040 and 060, with some 030 in the mix?

I think ARAnyM emulates an 040 though. It is
trying for 4 KiB right now, after the 8 KiB
attempt seems to have failed…

[…]
Calculated L1 cache size = 8kb; Correct=0

   Calculating L1 cache size:
      L1CS=2, time=56.780000 (ignore=0.0e+00)
      L1CS=4, time=49.800000 (ignore=0.0e+00)
      L1CS=8, time=52.690000 (ignore=0.0e+00)
      L1CS=16, time=53.410000 (ignore=0.0e+00)
      L1CS=32, time=56.280000 (ignore=0.0e+00)
      L1CS=64, time=54.020000 (ignore=0.0e+00)

      Timing differences below tolerance, trying larger maximum cache size:
      L1CS=2, time=211.770000 (ignore=0.0e+00)
      L1CS=4, time=205.270000 (ignore=0.0e+00)
[…]

But I’m a bit worrying it’ll just loop forever
and not get a correct answer.
