Hi,

here is a patch against libxml2 2.6.32 that replaces the hash function of the internal hash table implementation by one that I found on the web

a cleaned up version of this patch will be integrated into libxml2 2.6.33. It won't make a difference for those who parse 'only' HTML or other single languages with a somewhat small vocabulary (tags/attributes), but if you parse many different types of XML documents (XSD, XSLT, your language, ...), you will notice a difference.

Well done, Stefan. I'm not sure if this patch will help me specifically, but I really appreciate the work you put into lxml. I'm really glad I ported our code in this direction :-) Keep well Friedel
