@boia01: If a faster hash function is used, your code is one third faster than python.
For those who want to try: clone [xxHash](https://github.com/Cyan4973/xxHash.git) right next to the Nim source file and insert this below the _import_ statement: import hashes const hashSeed: culonglong = 0x4FB3CC02B6AA901C'u64 {.passC: "-DXXH_PRIVATE_API -IxxHash".} proc XXH64(key: pointer, size: csize, seed: culonglong): culonglong {.importc, header: "xxhash.h".} proc hash(s: string): Hash = result = XXH64(cstring(s), s.len, hashSeed).int
