Doesn't matter if either way, with network overhead from talking to your application from another machine, it's measured in milliseconds.

Of course it matters. You probably haven't written low latency server daemons. A busy memcached might be serving 20k to 100k requests a second, it's not serving 1 user only. 100k requests all being translated to memory vs disk reads will have a huge performance impact.

Many caches including Memcached support batch gets as well as pipelining, so network latency won’t dominate.
