[Glass] Large collection and common practice

[Smalltalk via Glass]

Dale,

Is there any measure of from what size a Dictionary could have this 
problem ? Maybe it also depends in the length of the key...

(if the problem arise from 1.000.000 entries in a dictionary --> is not 
a problem for me right now)

The keys of my Dictionary is an UUID like: 
93b1205cec32b42993b9382a9b0d89046fd937c8

At this stage i think i will use 2 Rc collections (one dictionary + one 
bag) in the future maybe this approach has to be changed...

For now i will keep it simple !

regards

bruno
