This is not actually true on all systems.  For instance, if you have dual
processor Opteron it would behoove you to keep the hash size to under half your
physical memory at least, because Opteron systems are NUMA and access to memory
attached to the non-local CPU is higher than latency to memory attached to the
CPU your process is running on.  It's about 60-80ns latency for local memory and
about 100-120ns for 1-hop away.
