	It's a bit of each.

	A given response has a certain probability of being for the next key  
in your sequence.  And then you check it.  If it's not the one, then  
you iterate your list until you find the matching value.

	Why do you want to trade IO for something so computationally simple?

	I see the point, I just don't see anything to justify the criticality  
of your tone.
