"""
Smoke test for the iter-2 DLRM-DRAM variant.

Verifies that MicroDLRMDRAM with a virtual table sized to exceed LLC
runs measurably slower per step than the cache-resident MicroDLRMWhiteBox
on the same dense+sparse input shape. The minimum gap of 3x is the
acceptance criterion from Emer's iter-2 proposal: if the DRAM variant
is not at least 3x slower, the virtual table is not large enough to
defeat your machine's LLC and `virtual_table_size` should be increased.

    Two checks:
      1. End-to-end forward pass timing (full model, MLP-dominated).
         This is what users will actually experience but the gap is small
         because the MLPs do meaningful work in both variants.
      2. Isolated embedding lookup timing (the actual bottleneck).
         Pre-compute hashed indices so we measure pure memory-access cost.
