[sup-talk] [PATCH] cache results of Person.from_address

[William Morgan]

This looks good. Two minor questions before I apply:

Reformatted excerpts from Rich Lane's message of 2009-08-16:

When you say this affects query performance, is it just the contact-list
query, or is there some other mechanism by which this is slowing down
regular queries?

Also in this method:

> +    if @values.size < @n
> +      @values[k] = v
> +      @marks[k] = @i
> +    else

> +        @marks.delete k2
> +        self[k] = v
> +      end
> +    end
> +  end

Wouldn't it be better to do this?

       else
         if @delete_stack.empty?
           sweep
         end

         unless @delete_stack.empty?
           k2 = @delete_stack.pop
           @values.delete k2
           @marks.delete k2
           self[k] = v
         end

So we check the delete stack even after calling sweep, and we allow for
the value to be nil.

Thanks!
