Tony, >The best way IMO is to use 64bit, use fe the right 18 bit for indexing, shift >the hashnumber 18 to the rigth and store the right 32 bit (the signature). You >are then using a 50 bit hashnumber but you only store 32 of them. I store the whole 64 bits. I thought about trying your method but is it really worth it? What happens when you need to change the hash table size? What happens when you only have a limited amount of memory i.e. small hash table size? The hash signature will reduce. I guess you save a little on bandwidth but is it significant? Has anyone done any tests? Regards, Steve
