I thought it was a hash map! From the page:

"The array based TStringList and TFPGMap are the most memory efficient, using less memory than even the cuckoo maps. However, as they are not hash maps, their usage is extremely slow, even if the maps are sorted, so they are nearly useless as maps. Their default setting of unsorted and (in case of TStringList) case-insensitive matching are quite dangerous."
