People don't seem to understand that O(1) is not FASTER than O(n), it just SCALES better; there's a breakpoint. Imagine a "hashcode as a service" rest call vs doing it in memory: it'd still scale better, but it'd take an awfully large 'n' to get there. I see people missing this in PRs, streaming/looping an array is often faster with small arrays than something like a `HashSet`. And in practice, its really unlikely either makes a tangible difference in most use cases.

@artemkotelevych2523 What kills me is when its running in a managed runtime, in a vm, using a text based protocol (json), likely blocking on I/O... and this is the thing that gets cited 'for performance.'
