Do you have a link or an approx date of this earlier posts? I must have
missed it. The patch on sourceforge seems a bit empty:

https://sourceforge.net/patch/index.php?func=detailpatch&patch_id=100899&group_id=5470

As a result I invented my own compression format for the ucnhash for
jython. I managed to achive ~100k but that probably have different
performance properties.
