Comment (by SimonKing):

 I just added an experimental patch [attachment:idkey_dict] that implements
 what I proposed in my previous posts. The timings seem very appealing:
 {{{
 sage: from sage.structure.idkey_dict import IdKeyDict
 sage: from sage.structure.coerce_dict import TripleDict
 sage: import weakref
 sage: I = IdKeyDict(3,53, threshold=0.7)
 sage: T = TripleDict(53, threshold=0.7)
 sage: W = weakref.WeakKeyDictionary()
 sage: L = []
 sage: for p in prime_range(10000):
 ....:     L.append(GF(p)['x','y'])
 ....:
 sage: K = GF(97)['x','y']
 sage: K2 = GF(next_prime(p))['x','y']
 sage: for i,K in enumerate(L):
 ....:     W[K] = i
 ....:     I[K,K,True] = i
 ....:     T[K,K,True] = i
 ....:
 sage: (K,K,True) in I
 True
 sage: (K,K,True) in T
 True
 sage: K in W
 True
 sage: %timeit (K,K,True) in I
 625 loops, best of 3: 1.31 µs per loop
 sage: %timeit (K,K,True) in T
 625 loops, best of 3: 2.14 µs per loop
 sage: %timeit K in W
 625 loops, best of 3: 56.4 µs per loop
 sage: (K2,K,True) in I
 False
 sage: (K2,K,True) in T
 False
 sage: K2 in W
 False
 sage: %timeit (K2,K,True) in I
 625 loops, best of 3: 523 ns per loop
 sage: %timeit (K2,K,True) in T
 625 loops, best of 3: 2.07 µs per loop
 sage: %timeit K2 in W
 625 loops, best of 3: 2.4 µs per loop
 sage: I[K,K,True]
 1228
 sage: T[K,K,True]
 1228
 sage: W[K]
 1228
 sage: %timeit I[K,K,True]
 625 loops, best of 3: 1.24 µs per loop
 sage: %timeit T[K,K,True]
 625 loops, best of 3: 2.19 µs per loop
 sage: %timeit W[K]
 625 loops, best of 3: 55.6 µs per loop
 }}}

 Hence, the ''general'' `IdKeyDict`, that implements any fixed key length,
 already beats `TripleDict`. But not all is good: When I tried to compare
 with `MonoDict`, I got a segfault in `__setitem__`

 Back to the drawing board, then...
