io-cache and quick-read perform different functions. Normally while reading
a file, glusterfs (fuse) get following calls from VFS,

lookup,
open,
read,
.
.
.
read,
flush,
close.

But quick-read exploits an internal feature of glusterfs present in lookup
to get the entire file in lookup call itself. Hence open, read and close
calls are short-cut at quick-read itself and they don't reach server thereby
saving 3 transactions over network (probably more due to read).
