There is a 1 clock stall when a read from tightly coupled data memory immediately follows a write to the same memory block. Basically the write cycle can only be done when it is actually required - and the decision takes a clock. The read is done unconditionally - ie regardless of the opcode byte or the actual memory block referenced by the high-order address bits. The same delay may affect data cache operations.
