INSTANT jQuery loading time?

jquery.min.js - a loading time killer because of its 84kb size, or is it?..

Since jQuery is so widespread used... And IF it is cached for most users, could it be much faster than any non-cached library no matter how small, since jQuery is already physically in their phones cache?

If it's cached, that means the user has to spend no bandwidth to pull the jQuery library file in, since it's already there.

So as far as reducing the load time of your page, cached files will always result in a faster load time.
