After some thought I don't think the the time comparisons are useful unless we 
include the set init time. If we already have two sets, would anyone want to 
compare and convert that into a list? In the use case where we read a list of 
files, wouldn't we want to put that into a list instead of a set? I would think 
we would only put it into a list if we knew we would be doing set operations. 
At that point we would need to compare adding the elements individually to a 
list versus a set to then compare the set operations with list operations 
fairly. 

At small data sizes we are probably just comparing the speed of python with C. 
Perhaps I should write a C extension module to make sure its and apples to 
apples comparison. I'll try that when I get some time.
