Memory usage compared to collections.OrderedDict?

[andresriancho]

@shoyer have you measured if there is any difference between collections.OrderedDict vs. cyordereddict in terms of memory usage? Seen the code and it seems to be a "line to line port", so memory usage should be the same?

I have not done these tests, but indeed it's a line to line port so I expect memory usage would be almost identical. cyordereddict.OrderedDict objects do probably use a slightly smaller fixed amount of memory per object, because they use slots instead of a dictionary to store their attributes.

awesome, thanks for the comment.
