是的，它们的表现特征有很大不同。将它们命名为SortedList和SortedTree可能更好，因为这样可以更准确地反映实现。

查看它们各自的MSDN文档(SortedList, SortedDictionary)，了解不同情况下不同操作的性能细节。下面是一个很好的总结(来自SortedDictionary文档):

The SortedDictionary<TKey, TValue> generic class is a binary search tree with O(log n) retrieval, where n is the number of elements in the dictionary. In this, it is similar to the SortedList<TKey, TValue> generic class. The two classes have similar object models, and both have O(log n) retrieval. Where the two classes differ is in memory use and speed of insertion and removal: SortedList<TKey, TValue> uses less memory than SortedDictionary<TKey, TValue>. SortedDictionary<TKey, TValue> has faster insertion and removal operations for unsorted data, O(log n) as opposed to O(n) for SortedList<TKey, TValue>. If the list is populated all at once from sorted data, SortedList<TKey, TValue> is faster than SortedDictionary<TKey, TValue>.

(SortedList实际上维护一个排序的数组，而不是使用树。它仍然使用二进制搜索来查找元素。)

查看SortedList的MSDN页面:

备注部分:

The SortedList<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>) generic class is a binary search tree with O(log n) retrieval, where n is the number of elements in the dictionary. In this, it is similar to the SortedDictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>) generic class. The two classes have similar object models, and both have O(log n) retrieval. Where the two classes differ is in memory use and speed of insertion and removal: SortedList<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>) uses less memory than SortedDictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>).

If the list is populated all at once from sorted data, SortedList<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>) is faster than SortedDictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>).

索引访问(这里提到)是实际的区别。 如果需要访问后继对象或前任对象，则需要SortedList。SortedDictionary无法做到这一点，因此您在如何使用排序(first / foreach)方面受到相当的限制。

这是性能之间相互比较的可视化表示。

关于这个话题已经说得够多了，但是为了简单起见，这里是我的看法。

排序字典应该使用时-

需要更多的插入和删除操作。 无序数据。 键访问就足够了，不需要索引访问。 内存不是瓶颈。

另一方面，当-时应该使用Sorted List

需要更多的查找和更少的插入和删除操作。 数据已经排序(如果不是全部，也是大部分)。 需要索引访问。 内存是一种开销。

希望这能有所帮助!!
