It's surprising that iterating a dense array is faster than iterating a hashmap? I don't think you are parsing the parent post correctly.
If dictionaries are commonly iterated in python, then iterating an array of 100 items that fits in one cache-line will be faster than iterating a hashmap which might have 100 items in 100 cache lines.
