Note also that using gnash::stream instead of tu_file is on itself
a perfomrance loss, as gnash::stream byte reader keeps calling align()
which is not needed by a direct read.

What about making gnash::stream cache controllable by user ?
For example, tag loaders which intend to use the underlying stream
could disable caching, while others could cache the whole tag.
