The initial capacity is set to the number of entries in the source dictionary. Capacity is increased as the number of buckets is increased based on the load factor.
The maximum load factor is the maximum ratio of entries to buckets. A smaller load factor means faster lookup at the cost of increased memory consumption. A maximum load factor of 1.0 is the best balance between speed and size.When the actual load factor reaches the maximum load factor, the number of buckets is automatically increased to the smallest prime number that is larger than twice the current number of buckets.
