Comment(by JGO):

 Yes I was, thanks for making the connection.

 I was looking at a sqlite implementation to implement this:

 Meaning we could outsource the whole lookup, index and storage stuff and
 occasionally I was looking at startup-times for the addon. I noticed that
 the calls to HTTPSRules.init() take about 2.35 seconds (I added some
 timing information around calls to this) and perhaps the way we handle
 this could improve that timing as well.

 But I must say this (sqlite) is perhaps not what you had in mind, and
 'compressed binary indexing' is not what I usually do :P. But I will have
 a little research into that.
