[issue23601] use small object allocator for dict key storage

[Mark Shannon]

Mark Shannon added the comment:

Indeed there is no *obvious* reason why they should be slower. 
But when it comes to optimisation, *never* trust your (or anyone else's) intuition.

Running a simple check is always worth the effort.
