I think Richard described it. He seems to have some "inside" knowledge that a hash table is used. The above data is consistent with that.
No inside info, other than discussions with Scott Raney on other issues which suggest he's very good with hashes and likes them a lot.
In this case it was just a guess based on the blazing speed of array access relative to any other lookup method. I had occassion this summer and last to do some extensive benchmarking on various lookup methods, and have always found that if I can use an array I can speed things up by several orders of magnitude.
