dictionary to file

[Larry Bates]

You don't define what you mean by "a lot".  Python can read
a tremendous amount of information from files in a very short
amount of time so I wouldn't try to prematurely optimize this.
Just read the information and see how long it takes.  If it
is really a long time, then look for alternatives.  It will
take some time to read the dictionary and to unpickle it.
