I would think this is very unlikely, given that the previous dict implementation
has always been very fast. The new one is very fast, too.

The modification of the current implementation that don't preserve
the initial order after deletion would be more compact and faster.

How much faster?

I didn't try to implement this. But the current implementation requires periodical reallocating if add and remove items. The following loop reallocates the dict every len(d) iterations, while the size of the dict is not changed, and the half of its storage is empty.

while True:
    v = d.pop(k)
    ...
    d[k] = v
