The version I submitted to J. Crypto (over four months ago... I wish
the referees would hurry up) has more details and is probably more
useful: http://www.daemonology.net/papers/cachemissing.pdf

I'd also recommend reading the Osvik-Shamir-Tromer paper which
describes an attack similar to mine but applied to AES instead of RSA:
