What kinds of objects are you storing in your dictionary ? Python
instances, strings, integers ?

The dict keys were all uppercase alpha strings of length 7.  I don't
have access at the moment, but maybe something like 10-100M of them
(not sure how redundant the set is).  The values are all lists of
pairs, where each pair is a (string, int).  The pair strings are of
length around 30, and drawn from a "small" fixed set of around 60K
strings ().  As mentioned previously, I think the ints are drawn
pretty uniformly from something like range(10000).  The length of the
lists depends on the redundancy of the key set, but I think there are
around 100-200M pairs total, for the entire dict.
