What precisely do you mean with 'nested dictionaries' and 'top level'?

The kind of speed up you can get by restructuring data structures
to access often needed data quickly is not normally needed in
a scripting language.
The easiest way to do that in Python would be
to use separate dictionary for faster access, ako. cache.
