What I didn't understand is if you want to disable caching for all backends (NetCDF etc.) or only for dask?
The change for dask only is very straightforward. For all backends much less so...

Here's where we define `load` on Dataset and DataArray:

As I mentioned before, let's add `.compute()` to evaluate and return a new object, and use it for `.values` instead of caching. `.load()` can remain unchanged for when users actually want to cache data. And we can definitely disable automatically loading data in pickles.

We actually already have a `.load()` method for explicitly loading data into memory, though it might make sense to add `.compute()` as an alias, possibly without modifying the original dataset inplace.

I'm a little less certain about how to handle pickling data, because anytime you open a file from disk using `open_dataset` it's not going to pickle. But on the other hand, it's also not hard to explicitly write `.load()` or `.compute()` before using pickle or invoking multiprocessing.
