 While I can't speak for every code out there, for Gaussian03 I2 seems
to work extremely well:

 Note that these are ~1 hour long jobs, which surely do not fit in
cache.

 The interesting part is that for some real life codes I2 performance
matches what SPEC numbers would predict. The cost, of course, is a
different issue altogether.
