Thomas,

In your example above, where does the 40M number come from? Does it assume 5 man
TBs?, because I would assume that this number would have to go up as the TB file
size goes up too... Or is this not the case?

Should I also assume that this 40M is not taken out of the memory allocated for
the hash, and is instead dynamically allocated?
