        Dictionary in BlockFreeList is a commonly accessed data structure and can be allocated when BlockFreeList is created.
        By doing this, we can remove extra branches to check if dictionary() is null.
        I observed that this change improved execution time of DaCapo benchmark by 3% in the average.
