Comment(by slabbe):

 Here are some timings. The patch improves the timing for small alphabet.
 But it makes it slower for bigger alphabet... So, I don't know anymore if
 it is a good thing...


 SMALL ALPHABET

 without the patch:

 {{{
 sage: w = Word( [i % 4 for i in range(1000000)])
 sage: time w.evaluation_dict()
 CPU times: user 0.80 s, sys: 0.01 s, total: 0.80 s
 Wall time: 0.82 s
 {0: 250000, 1: 250000, 2: 250000, 3: 250000}
 }}}

 with the patch:

 {{{
 sage: w = Word( [i % 4 for i in range(1000000)])
 sage: time w.evaluation_dict()
 CPU times: user 0.55 s, sys: 0.00 s, total: 0.55 s
 Wall time: 0.56 s
 defaultdict(<type 'int'>, {0: 250000, 1: 250000, 2: 250000, 3: 250000})
 }}}

 BIG ALPHABET

 without the patch:

 {{{
 sage: w = Word(range(1000))
 sage: %timeit w.evaluation_dict()
 625 loops, best of 3: 577 µs per loop
 }}}

 with the patch:

 {{{
 sage: w = Word(range(1000))
 sage: %timeit w.evaluation_dict()
 625 loops, best of 3: 915 µs per loop
 }}}
