Our unit tests currently spend a lot of time re-reading and re-parsing test
files. Though these are quick individually, they add up to a significant
total of tests' runtimes, especially the craigslist/*.dataset.json files, which
are over 1MB and take about 1 second to parse. By caching these reads and
parses, and returning copies on future calls, we speed up tests by about 35%.
Some performance numbers follow.
