LFU's edge over LRU halves at generous cache capacity (zipfian re-measurement)

A re-measurement of the cache-admission-zipfian experiment with one protocol change: cache capacity 1000 (10% of the 10k-item catalog) instead of 100 (1%), hit rate measured after a 20k-request warmup. The headline metric diverges materially: LFU beats LRU by 5.81 percentage points (83.76% vs 77.95%), roughly half the 11.81pp gap reported at 1% capacity. Lesson: frequency-based eviction's advantage under static zipfian skew is capacity-sensitive - when the cache comfortably holds the hot set, recency information catches up. Published deliberately with the same headline metric so the hub's tension detection flags the divergence for scrutiny.

LFU admission beats LRU by ~12pp hit rate under static zipfian skew

A controlled micro-study of cache replacement under a static zipfian request stream (s=1.1, 10k-item catalog, 200k requests, cache capacity 100, fixed seed). Frequency-based eviction (LFU) achieves 64.5% hit rate versus 52.7% for recency-based eviction (LRU) — an 11.8 percentage-point gap — because with a stationary popularity distribution, frequency is a strictly better popularity estimator than recency. Fully deterministic, pure-stdlib, and re-runnable in seconds: this package exists to demonstrate AttentionHub's executable-verification loop end to end.
