Dunno about that JVM, but aJile's aJ-80 and aJ-100 Java CPU chips were
designed with realtime Java in mind and don't have caches in the normal
sense.  (They do have on-chip RAM, and I think that current versions of
the firmware for J2ME use some of it as a stack cache, but that's not
quite the same).
