STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@gmail.com> added the comment:

This issue is a matter of CPU vs memory tradeoff. It reminds me the PEP 393: 
str type doesn't make tradeoff anymore, CPython guarantee that str always use 
the most efficient storage (least memory) for characters.

But here the tradeoff is different. A dict is mutable, whereas str is immutable 
;-)
