Add benchmarking test suite and greatly improve performance in a few cases (#948)

* Add benchmarking test suite

* Improve amortized time of model relation loads with a large number of rows

* Improve performance of loading models with many related models

* Improve performance of loading models with many related models to O(N)ish

* Fix bug where N model creation with shared related model would build in N^2 time

* Lower blocking time for queryset results

* Add docstrings and streamline hash code
