...on long strings. It would be worth checking the startup overhead for typically short identifiers in programs. See later on in the README: "When used in a hash table the instruction cache will usually beat the CPU and throughput measured here. In my tests the smallest FNV1A beats the fastest crc32_hw1 with Perl 5 hash tables. Even if those worse hash functions will lead to more collisions, the overall speed advantage beats the slightly worse quality. See e.g. A Seven-Dimensional Analysis of Hashing Methods and its Implications on Query Processing for a concise overview of the best hash table str...

I've been working on improving the startup performance of lldb, and ran into an issue with llvm::HashString. It works a character at a time, which creates a long dependency chain in the processor. On the other hand, the function is very short, which probably works well for short identifiers. I don't know how the mix of identifier length seen by lldb compares with that seen by
