You don't define what you mean by "a lot". Python can read a tremendous amount of information from files in a very short amount of time so I wouldn't try to prematurely optimize this. Just read the information and see how long it takes. If it is really a long time, then look for alternatives. It will take some time to read the dictionary and to unpickle it.
