Statically cache node access grants

node_access_grants() is called once per node during a request when node_access is implemented. For most implementations, this is a very cheap request. When implementations of hook_node_access_grants_alter() are expensive, however, the performance of the page suffers massively.

The primary assumption that I am making here is that node_access_grants() will never change within a single request for any given combination of $account and $op. That is what I would like confirmation on from others.

Locally, I am seeing node_access_grants() reduced from ~1.2s to ~60ms. This particular site has some custom checks that are expensive, but the $grants array is the same each time, so it appears there's no reason to call this multiple times.
