Should I cache PageData that is often fetched?

I have created a page that will hold reuseable properties for translations throughout the site.

I get the properties from this page with the help of a HtmlHelper.

public static class TranslationHelper
  {
    public static PageDataBase TranslationPage(this HtmlHelper html)
    {
      var contentLoader = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<IContentLoader>();
      var translationsPageId = WebConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get("TranslationsPageId");
      var page = contentLoader.Get<PageDataBase>(new PageReference(translationsPageId));

      return page;
    }
  }

Could there be a performance hit if this code gets called several times on a page? Should I save/cache the PageData?

EPiServer does a good job caching PageData objects out of the box. For some details take a look at this post: How EPiServer CMS caches PageData objects.
