Description

In ​Carl Meyer's talk at DUTH on Instagram he noted a small 'hack' that add been added to their codebase to speed up all their requests: caching the first result of settings accesses in the outer LazySettings object's __dict__ with a post-setup hook like:

for key in dir(settings):
    settings.__dict__[key] = getattr(settings, key)

LazySettings itself could do this caching in its own __dict__ to give great speed to all! It can also be done in a way that is tested to interact better with other parts of Django, such as override_settings.
