Hello, I just realised, that between PHP4 and PHP5 we changed the hash function used within zend_hash.h from DJBX33X to DJBX33A. The diff is here => http://cvs.php.net/diff.php/ZendEngine2/zend_hash.h?ws=0&r1=1.57&r2=1.58&ty=u Does anyone remember the exact reason for that? Or was the change done by accident when the loops were unrolled? I have no idea if there is a big difference for our hashing needs, but I am just curious if we changed it because of benchmarks...
