Totally depends on your use case.
QHash is pretty quick with random access on large keys.
If you really really need every microsecond of performance gain, you might
want to implement your own data structure. possibly a linked list with a
black/red tree kind of aproach where you would search for the key from fixed
entry points depending on the first digit or something like that. Well,.. but
QHash should be enought, really.
