Hi Piotr,

 

this is right - avoid using subtables unless its realy necessary.

 

To further increase the subtable performance you could distribute the individual keys across multiple (but still well known) subtables using an performant algorythm of you choice (e.g. first letter, some CRC, etc.), so that the individual keys are still queryable but distributed on different cores.

 

What are you exactly trying to achive?

 

Cheers, Kai
