use pylibczirw

[toloudis]

Feature Description

Implement a simplified czi reader that uses pylibczirw; benchmark the most common read scenarios against aicspylibczi.

Use Case

pylibczirw is supported by Zeiss and is pretty fast at reading single slices. (To be fair, aicspylibczi probably uses about the same api calls to read a single slice)
If we are willing to give up some of the more granular mosaic tile reading, we can take advantage of pylibczirw and have a czi reader that doesn't depend on aicspylibczi. I suspect that a lot of operations in aicspylibczi are slower than they need to be and we also have some strange problems with computing dimensions on certain files.

Solution

Probably means a totally new reader...

Alternatives

have a "fast path" in this reader that uses pylibczirw?
