Bryan Call commented on TS-1669:
--------------------------------
I don't think that the performance of the hash is a limiting factor for ATS. I
have never seen the hash function come up when profiling. I wouldn't worry
about the hash algorithm unless there are security issues with MD5.
> evaluate SipHash as a replacement for MD5

> SipHash is claimed to have the stability of MD5 but the performance of a
> non-crypto hash function. Let's take a look and see whether there's any
> benefit to that.
