The catch is, you must choose the vector size very carefully to get this kind of performance from the (non-resizable) hashes. my hashtable things: 3 % slower than the Guile hash (don't you love symmetry? ;) 5 % slower if I use my own hashing function (I've found the current Guile hasher to be inadequate for my needs). Would anyone knowledgeable about bit twiddling be willing to write a Guile hasher that doesn't mod out by a given number? > Jay > jglascoe@jay.giss.nasa.gov >
