you should probably open the database partially. it should be fast enough.

opening database partially (a parameter in readfile()) will help to read the data without loading the whole database.
but incremental saving is not implemented in dd.
to modify the data in file you'll have to read and save the whole database.

one more thing: in dd 1.12 modifying partially loaded database (adding a block for example) and saving it may produce invalid files crashing autocad.
this will be fixed in 1.13 but saving partially loaded database in any case will force full loading untill incremental save is implemented.
