in thread Bidirectional lookup algorithm? (Updated: further info.)
The current hash lookups are very fast -- possibly as fast as I could hope to get -- the problem I'm trying to address is the memory consumed by the duplication of keys & values.
As I said in the OP: "so the priority is the lookup speed -- preferably O(1) though O(logN) might be acceptable if the memory reduction was sufficient."

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
