Depends on the kind of thread you're using. User level threads don't
flush the cache on a context switch. About kernel level threads I'm not
really sure, because there is a also a mode switch (user mode <-> kernel
mode) whenever a context switch happens on this kind of threads.

But I wouldn't put the sampler in another 'host' application's process
anyway.
