I think worrying about the cache is a distraction.  It will make a difference, for sure and it's interesting to know what that is. But if a lookup is something whose performance you care about then chances are you're doing it a lot.  So assuming your data structure is not somehow cache-hostile (and a list whose backbone is not modified often or which is not modified at all and is not too big should not be) then it will be in the cache: that's what caches are for.
