21:01:59 francogrex hi, I am trying to load a hashtable of keys and values (simple) but large about 25mb with over a million keys, ok on pc but on android device i get out of memory. is there a better way? will it work better as sqlite3 db?

21:03:55 francogrex forgot to mention the ht is a serialized obj that i load into ram

21:06:04 montar francogrex: sqlite is probably a better option

21:06:12 montar it's more memory-efficient

21:06:48 wasamasa or any actual database really

21:07:00 wasamasa including stuff like dbm

21:08:28 francogrex ok i assume it loads into ram more smartly?

21:09:04 francogrex because for search efficiency ht are famous

21:10:16 wasamasa wait until you learn about b-trees

21:11:59 waleee francogrex: search efficiency can easily be orthagonal to memory efficency

21:14:55 francogrex I know trees but hash tables are beautiful. only if i can.manage to efficiently smart memory loading
