 A *lot* of Gutenberg implementations are going to have to parse the blocks
 in a post. Core itself already parses the blocks on output, but also when
 trimming an excerpt in `excerpt_remove_blocks`. All this parsing is done
 with `parse_blocks`. Unfortunately, the only thing passed to
 `parse_blocks` right now is a string, with no way of caching it.

 My suggestion would be to add a cache key to the `parse_blocks` function,
 which defaults to false. I've attached a proposed patch to the function,
 if we agree on this we could then look at how to implement this in core
 itself.
