New issue 10634 by [email protected]: Examine the performance of our bloom  
filter hash functions
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=10634

The hash functions used in the SafeBrowsing bloom filters should be  
examined for
possible reductions in their false positive rate.

Our current implementation uses four hash functions on a filter of varying  
size. We
want to make sure that we don't increase the computational expense of the
functions, as they are in a code path that directly impacts the latency  
experienced
by the end user.

A possibility for a global reduction in the false positive rate is to use a  
random
seed in the hash functions so that users with the exact same SafeBrowsing  
data but
different seeds will not end up with the same bloom filter.

See http://crbug.com/10584 for more details about the importance of keeping  
the
false positive rate the bloom filters as low as possible.
