[julia-users] Pretty sure Dict (dictionary) is slow

[Freddy Chua]

I am using Dict to store my values. Since it is hash table, I thought that 
the performance would remain fairly constant even as the dictionary grows 
bigger. But this is not what I am experience at the moment. When the size 
of my Dict grows, the cost of retrieval increases as well. Can someone help 
me here??? I really need the dictionary to be fast...
