Noticing that also left me with a question: how come everybody in the world hasn't stolen as much as possible from the Python hashing implementation? Are there a billion such 10-years'-tweaked implementations lying around which all perform comparably well?
Jean-Claude Wippler and Christian Tismer did some benchmarks against other implementations. IIRC, the only one in the same ballpark was Lua's (which, IIRC, was faster at least under some conditions). -- Gordon http://www.mcmillan-inc.com/
