This speeds up the
Table.__repr__
by avoiding repeated calls toCasaArrayWrapper.__getitem__
with the same arguments (which is not actually cached by dask, see dask/dask#8420). For the particular example I was trying this speeds things up from 20 seconds to 5 seconds. To speed this up further, I will need to try and profile the dask data access in detail, but at least this was a low hanging fruit improvement, and 5 seconds is not too bad considering the size of the tables we are accessing.This goes towards addressing #36
