If it makes sense, yes. I found SMhasher (*) and started playing with it for this very purpose. Just for kicks, I added OPENSSL_LH_strhash_ex to it and am currently doing a huge run of all hashes it knows. I did a test with Google's FarmHash, and that one shows promise, speed wise (it performs twice as fast as OPENSSL_LH_strhash_ex).
