[Mono-dev] faster than hashtable?

[Alan McGovern]

If the key is random, a hashtable is the fastest way. You may be able to eke
some extra speed out of the Dictionary<K, V> class by ripping all the code
to support generic keys and instead hardcode the key to always be a long.
That should save a bit of time, though whether it'd be noticable or not I
don't know.
