Dictionary loading is pretty rapid in WinCE (without the provided 
patch), with loading times ~5 sec for the 3K line dictionary (120MHz 
ARM). I do get crashes on loading occasionally when loading up the 
dictionary on my ~13MB free ram device, when there are other apps 
running, which I don't like.

To speed up loading and solve the tree memory requirements in one go, I 
will take a whack at the following solution later today: We load up the 
dictionary with one operation, as Max does. Then, since we've got the 
_sorted_ T9 code in the text file, we use the text file directly to 
perform searches using binary (bisection) search (do away with the tree 
altogether). This will require an array with pointers to the beginnings 
of lines, so for ~125K dictionary with ~8K lines this will take up: 
125KB + 4*8K = 157 K. I'm pretty sure the search tree must be taking up 
more space than that in memory.
