page() ran the 500 ms pacing gate before the cache check, so every hit
waited too: a fill rerun skipping 166 cached pages took ~80 s and
looked like a start from scratch. The gate now sits after the hit
check (re-checking storage once through it, in case a request ahead
had just etched the page).
Regression test: the fixed-clock test cache records its sleeps; a miss
sleeps once, three hits add none (failed before: 4 sleeps).
