It's likely that a dictionary with many entries will not behave the same way. (Basing a dictionary's internal structure on the basis of the number of entries is quite sensible; the structure (and algorithms) that will give best performance for millions of entries has more overhead than makes sense if there 10 of fewer, and vice versa.
