Making Sense of RAM

I have a thorough understanding of what RAM does, but I'm not clear on RAM specifications...

1) What is Latency and it's effect on the system?
2) RAM timer (?) settings such as 2-2-2-5. What do these numbers represent and what are their effects on the system?
3) Specs such as "CL3" which I'm assuming have something to do with question number 2.
4) Anything else I should know?

Thank you.
