* Wich of this methods do you think is faster to access a dictionary,
   entry(KeyValue,....KeyInfos....)   (about 5.000 entries):
          - put entries as they are in the internal DB of Prolog (with
            KeyValue as first argument, relaying on SWI-PL first arg
            indexing;
          - put entries in a B-tree managed by Prolog.

* What kind of tecnique is used to index the first arg?
