That will make no difference for the `count` option which is where your solution was very slow. To run the slow test manually use the `words_quarter.txt` dictionary (the phone numbers file doesn't matter much - it's all in the dictionary).
But pls run the benchmarks yourself as I am not going to keep running it for you, and would be nice if you posted your solution on a Gist for example, pasting lots of code in the forum makes it difficult to follow.
