whoopsy. I was testing dict over storage performances, i.e. choosing to NOT
use storage alltogether.
If you wanted a comparison between getting values out of a storage with
"dot notation" and "dict notation" the test should be different.
Updated results (different machine)
set storage takes 4.03858570014
set dict takes 1.54960379043
get storage takes 10.6617240459
get dict takes 1.52191221231
get storage with dict notation takes 3.38868745888
updated code
