Feature suggestion: Cache the BibTeX file read

[wenjie2wang]

Thanks for this nice package! I gave it a try and it worked smoothly for me.

I have a relatively large BibTeX file with over 1,000 entries (and 10,000 lines) and I have been using ivy-bibtex. The bibtex-ctions takes a noticeable time to read/load the BibTeX file every time, while ivy-bibtex takes a noticeable time only the first time (assuming that the BibTeX file has not been changed). I guess it is because ivy-bibtex somehow caches the BibTeX file that has been read the first time. Thus, IMHO, it would be great if bibtex-actions contains a similar caching mechanism.

Yeah, I haven't tested with large files, but that makes sense.

I created this issue, because I agree we need to figure it out:

#69

Update: it's complicated.

See this post for an update: #69 (comment)

Caching now added: #71, along with additional performance improvements with #79.

Turns out it wasn't that complicated :-)
