But that's the latency of a single instruction you're talking about,
right?. E.g. a deeper pipeline can worsen the time from instruction
fetch to completion, if the clock isn't jacked up and propagation
delays reduced to compensate.

When do you care about single-instruction-level latency, other than if
concerned about pipeline stalls in some scenarios?

Throughput translates to low latency at the level of blocks of
instructions or procedures. The procedure call returns a result faster
due to throughput, which is less latency.

The latency you perceive on modern machines as an interactive user is
due to cra^H^H^Hrichly functional software stacks.
