           Summary: Investigate updating StringImpl::computeHash to Paul
                    Hsieh's latest SuperFastHash
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 525+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebCore Misc.
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: sam at webkit.org

Since the writing of StringImpl::computeHash, the hash function used and sited,
Paul Hsieh's SuperFastHash http://www.azillionmonkeys.com/qed/hash.html has
been updated.  We should investigate whether there is any win to using the new
function.  Maciej suggests that looking at both performance and  probe chain
length statistics (found using the dump statistics mode) are important.
