Check. One idea; .clear() will take as little resources as something
like that could; at one simple loop it'll all fit in the CPU cache and
should go through at a blazing speed... but the total time will depend
on how many entries it needs to iterate over. at some point any cpu
will run out of steam. Not allocating more memory than you will need 
will keep it to a minimum. So; if 4 seconds is enough don't allocate a
minute.

Maybe that was already obvious.
