writing large dictionaries to file using cPickle

[python at bdurham.com]

Hi,

Change:

pickle.dump(mydict, pfile)

to:

pickle.dump(mydict, pfile, -1 )

I think you will see a big difference in performance and also a much
smaller file on disk.

BTW: What type of application are you developing that creates so many
dictionaries? Sounds interesting.
