+
+** New hash function
+
+The current hash function in libhurd-ihash results in a lot of
+collisions when the hash table is 80% full. To overcome this, we keep
+hash tables at most 30% full. This represents a fair amount of
+overhead. Find a better algorithm. There can either be one that is
+appropriate in the general case or one that works well in a relevant,
+specific case, e.g., viengoos/object.c uses a hash to find the object
+corresponding to a frame, which is keyed on its physical address.

+* Major:

+* Thesis:
+
+** Capability aware compiler
+
+Modify, e.g., gcc to understand capability semantics and teach gcc how
+to optimize it, e.g., how to batch and combine calls. \ No newline at end of file
