I have a collection of about 5M shelves, each consisting of string->int mappings with on the order of 500 entries per shelf. I want to iterate through them rapidly and get the contents of each. But calling items() on each of them is slow - on the order of 1 or 2 seconds. Is there any way I can speed up this process?
