This is just a suggestion. Rather than creating the associative array from scratch, prebuild one and just use copies of that associative array when you need it. I don't know whether it will be faster, but intutitively it should.
This is analogous to pre-allocating structs in memory before using them in C. Regards, John PS: Let me know if this is practical and if it works!
