BrowserUk:
I have some couple questions:
- Is there an even mix of lookup by number and by name?
- Is there any bias to the names/values looked up? In other words, are certain values more likely to be looked up than others? If so, is there a way of knowing which ones are more likely before your lookup pass?
- Similarly: are recently-looked-up values more likely to be looked up again soon, or is it a totally random distribution?
- As I understand your question, the data is loaded first, then used frequently afterwards. Is my understanding correct?
There are likely other questions I could/should ask, if only I could think of them...

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
