Vincent said it was 3 times faster. I expected the result would be about 0.10s. Or am I wrong?

Maybe I have a relatively slow computer, so I get more speedup. Keep in mind, that disk time is constant.

So for example, total time is disk time + processing time
For me:
StringList: 10 + 50 = 60
Hashtable: 10 + 10 = 20
Speedup: 3 times

For Graeme with his faster computer (2x processor time):
StringList: 10 + 25 = 35
Hashtable: 10 + 5 = 15
Speedup: 2.3

Please choose appropiate number to get to the result :-)

Vincent
