When we have data in the cache, do we still have to deal with the latency of bringing it in from memory into the caches?

@martigp If we already have data in the cache then we don't have to bring the data from memory into the cache. That's the whole idea behind using the caches: to reduce data access latency if there's a pattern in data access. This answer gives some values of the cache latencies.
