An external will always be faster. However, the patching method still can be
optimized a lot. [list-tabdump] copies the same data back and forth and the
number-of-elemts/cputime ratio is not linear, but something like
'exponential' (please someone put here the correct term). Attached is a
benchmark patch, that compares [tabdump], [list-tabdump] and a patched
vanilla version, that has a linear ratio, which makes it a lot faster than
[list-tabdump], especially with big arrays (though it is still 10 times
slower than [tabdump]).
