I didn't say it was fast OR slow. I just said it's not slow enough to be the problem that you're claiming it is.
If you disagree with this, could you provide evidence of a situation where accessing elements with strings is a bottleneck? As I said, I've never seen this in practice and if it can be the case I would like to know more.

I don't know what you're referring to here. Could you provide an example?
