You seem to be a little more impatient than I am; I've noticed that you've commented on how "slow" dictionary lookup is, something which again I find personally to be an insignificant time.

Obviously you're "living life in the fast lane" as we say here. I take things at a slower pace .
So with a few seconds you meant around 50 seconds? I think your formulation is very misleading and can fool people. I would be very surprised if somebody thought you meant 50 seconds with "I have about 300 books on my Gen3 and can navigate to any one in a few seconds that way".

The reason I measured it is that I do not like it when people are mislead.
