I decided to find out, so I ran "timeit" on both schemes using a 2MB
file.  The two methods are within 1% of each other -- sometimes the dict
is slightly faster, sometimes the list is slightly faster.  Thus, for
all practical purposes, they are identical.  I'm surprised.  That means
you should use the one that makes sense to you.
