I did a comparison on your data sets such as DS1, and S3-FIFO had very lower hit ratios than LRU in most cases. I think there are very limited situations where S3-FIFO is best.

You evaluated a single trace (from twenty years ago) and claimed that S3-FIFO is worse; why not show more traces? Most of the traces we used are open-source and can be found here.
