Bob Kline added the comment: I'm not sure I would characterize a speedup of several orders of magnitude a "tiny performance gain." We had scripts with very large numbers of fields which were actually timing out. While I understand and agree with the principle of breaking as little existing code as possible, when programmers have actually been told that the method behaves the way the dictionary keys() method behaves it seems unreasonable to assume that the method will preserve the original order of fields (whatever that might mean for multiply-occurring field names).
