Freddie Flintoff 'lucky' to survive 124mph Top Gear crash[^]
Same track, but ... 124mph? That's not even trying!
Even the crashes are but a pale shadow of former glories ...

ahh, so that's where Freddy went.
but... I'll still watch test cricket over the new Top Gear.

Used to be Bugles were well-formed, with decent-sized openings so you could wear them on your fingers.
The bag says "America's #1 Finger Hat™" but they cannot be put on your fingers anymore. They're all squished pretty much flat.
They go through all the trouble and expense to Trade Mark the hat thing, then make them non-hat-able.

And you can't use Hula Hoops as rings any more either!

Could it be that your fingers have grown?

I have a hammer. If you really want to I can reshape the tips of your fingers so that you can wear the flattened bugles as hats.

Some people are too set in their ways that you cannot get a simple idea through.
Have politely requested the boss to reconsider my allocation to the team. 
Update:
I have been asked to spend some more time, and ignore to people in question. She says a new project is under discussion and would soon be my way.. yay
Best part, one developer.

I've seen the reference implementations for dictionary and sorted dictionary. I've even fiddled with them in binary form way back when with Reflector. I expect the inserts and removal times to be longer - i'd be surprised if they weren't, but the searches? This is just wrong.
(The AVL tree implementation sucks - it will be improved)

There's NO WAY this is happening without some black magic. Like some specialized op for their dictionaries.

How'd that work out for you last time?
I hope you make a better dev than a hall monitor.

I respectfully refer you to the first four words of point #2 of the sticky:

@chris-maunder
Thank you for the polite tone of your response, Peter.
I am aware of Chris' comment on the prior post, and I do not interpret it as being a "blanket" invitation for posts, like this one, which are nothing but code. There is no "discussion" inherent in this post.
I take the privilege of being a "mentor" on CP seriously, and when I see content like this, which could contribute to the quality of CP in the long run ... if posted on the appropriate technical forum ... I will speak out.
cheers, Bill

So, your initial post was serious ? I thought you were joking.
I welcome these kinds of posts about algorithmic in the Lounge. It was not a question, it was an open remark about performance.
Well, I can't believe this discussion just takes place.

The .NET BCL code has 2 advantage.
1. it runs in release mode (yours probably run in debug mode)
2. it has been precompiled ahead of time. (i.e. NGEN). NGEN does a better job sometimes.. though not sure it does that much better on library... (as opposed to program)
- (bonus point) well you said you check the reference implementation so might not be true. but .NET BCL is heavily optimised (I used reflector sometimes and I was surprised by the length they occasionally go to to make common codepath faster)

Well the base dictionary i expect to be faster because it doesn't have to sort the keys.
But I was surprised to see SortedDictionary (red black tree AFAIK) doing as well as it was, at least until I started throwing huge data at it.
Finally, the results started to make sense as I increased the order from 10k to 100k and beyond.
My AVL implementation has a really bad flaw in it so the perf results on it are no good at the moment.
I should add, the types of performance improvements you're talking about are generally linear time improvements, and I'm dealing with things that should yield orders of mag improvements

Looks like a fun way to improve your coding! 
Good luck with that and improvement!
Any chance I can give you some homework? 
In AvalonEdit their text model use "Rope" which looks like an IList but has fast insert and delete, i.e. O(1) cost instead of O(n)
In fact their code is probably quite nice.. but after looking at it for only 2 minutes I was confused, it's all mixed up with the text model, if I remember right...
Maybe you could be interested in making standalone Rope class?!

sounds like maybe a segmented linked list. where each link can contain multiple elements. that way instead of reallocing an array it just has to add a new link. Traversing is still about as fast.
