It is not the case, that's what my program shows :

<class '__main__.StateEQ'>

in operator at the beginning of list: 173
in operator at the end of list: 28249 <- here

converting to dict : 79
in operator for a dict for 60000 elements: 14

<class '__main__.StateLTEQ'>

in operator at the beginning of list: 202
in operator at the end of list: 30472 <- and here
