Quickest way to access items in Python dictionary

[@hellolk77]

Blue & pink lines are roughly linear. Roughly at 70k, there could be some memory allocation or something else that has dropped the performance. More like a one time thing within each test above 70k. With this I tend to think that it's linear for normal hash reading ( blue & pink ).

Good points!

I would assume the fastest way to access values is using dict.values() :)

Right!
