If the browser (or emulated browser/virtual user) doesn't acutally go get the data, then the test is not actually putting a load on the server. 

In a real-world test - if you are looking to see how your server scales for instance - a certain percentage of the users will get cached data.  Experiment with a few scenerios to see what makes sense for your application.  30/70, 10/90 ... cached/non-cached data.
