We are mostly using 3rd party tools like >webpagetest.org to look at the item times. The average workload of a cache hit, last I looked, was 7 system calls, with typical service times, from request received from kernel until response ready to be written to kernel, of 10-20 microseconds. Compared to the amount of work real webservers do for the same task, that is essentially nothing. I don't know if that is THE best performance, but I know of a lot of software doing a lot worse.
