I would like to initialize dictionary (String/String) with 4 million 
key/value pairs. Insert performance varies dramatically. Fast first 200k 
than slow around 300k. Pickups
at 400k and than slows down ...
This looks like memory allocation problem. I don't see the method where we 
can set size of the dictionary in advance.

f = open(ARGS[1])
dic = Dict{String, String}()
cnt = 0
while !eof(f)
    cnt += 1
    if cnt%1000 == 0
        println(cnt)
    end
    line = chomp(readline(f))
    el = split(line, ",")
    key = el[1]
    val = el[2]
    dic[key] = val
end
close(f)
