Does Godot cache "load"ed resources?

Question

I am loading some resources dynamically (using load instead of preload) because it is simpler to do so in code. However, I am worried that doing so is not performant. Are subsequent calls to load as resource (memory/cpu) instensive as the first call?

load is actually cached.

Is there some way to override this? I am loading in scenes that use RNG to size the objects and my RNG is the same every time. (am using Randomize()) - that is, load and preload are only doing it once, and getting those randoms once, then caching them and that's killing my randomized dreams, dig? :)
