<neal> so, we need a new ihash implementation
<neal> marcusb: When 80% full, the collision rate is very high.
<neal> marcusb: I tested using 512mb / 4096 entries
<neal> marcusb: Changing the load factor to 30% resulted in my program running more than an order of magnitude faster.
<marcusb> yeah, it shouldn't get so full
<marcusb> don't we do an exponential back-off in the array size?
<marcusb> of course it's clear we can do much better
<marcusb> the ihash algo is very simple
<marcusb> I'm not even sure it makes much sense to have a generic library
# Alternatives?
