Hello everyone.

Thanks raymond for writing down a pure python version ;-) I did an initial port to RPython for experiments. The results (on large dicts only) are inconclusive - it's either a bit faster or a bit slower, depending what exactly you do. There is a possibility I messed something up too (there is a branch rdict-experiments in PyPy, in a very sorry state though).

But what about the memory consumption? This seems to be the main point of Raymond's proposal.

Regards

Antoine.
