Yes, similar to a THashedStringList, but with a special implementation The TFPHashTable was highly optimized with a lot of profiling, while trying to achieve the ease of use through object orientation and ease of maintainance. It's a hash table with a customizable hash function (to achieve constant performance in searches), chaining is used as a collision resolution scheme. Some statistics are also provided to be able to choose the appropriate hash function and the appropriate hash table size. The difference in performance with respect to a simple ordered TStringList is evident when more then 100.000 elements are added to the container, the number of elements the container can hold is huge (longword, and obviously ram size, is the limit :). I have another idea to further improve the performance of searches and I'm planning to further profile it in the next weeks to see if there are other speed gains. Be aware that the version in 2.0.4 and before contains a bug that was solved by Marco in 2.1.1. and merged in 2.0.5 (an AV if the insertion is made after a clear) due to the use of longwords in the for cycles. I'm attaching the fpcunit tests for you to see how to use it, and I'll give you all the assistance that you need. I'll be glad to receive some feedback as usual. Regards, Dean
