Yes, manually matching is fairly simple but in the worst case you need to iterate over n-1 talk pages (where n is the total number of talk pages of a Wikipedia) to find the talk page that belongs to a user page when using the dump files. Hence, if the dump file would contain for each article a tag with talk page id then it would significantly reduce the processing time. Diederik
