Performance Improvement Tests

To do a quick test on performance improvement, I redid some parts of my counter and switched to the new high performance hashset collection from the Orcas January CTP. I used the helsinki corpus (9.793 KB, single text file) and conducted a single-word frequency list operation (create and sort). And here are the results: TT5 SVN17 TT7 SVN47 Performance Improvement Create 2,17 1,84 1,17x Sort 12,42 2,28 5,44x Display 0,80~ 0,80~ - Total 15,39~ 4,92~ 3,12x For your information, WordSmith Tools 4 (4.0.0.374) takes about 23 seconds to perform the same operation.
