Consider to handle read() and write() in C if object is cached

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It might be worthwhile to consider writing read() and write() in Cython, and 
only defer to the Python implementations if the object is not in the block 
cache. That way these calls wouldn't have to acquire the GIL.

However, we first need to measure how big the Python overhead on reads and 
writes is in the first place.
