See this http://fortuna.iasi.rdsnet.ro/ccc/ccc.php?art_id=291166

taking a little out of context: "the speed break-even point seems to be around
96M for fine-tuning, or around
24M if you look only for large speedups.

for 24M hash size, that is 1.5M entries. Compared to 291M total nodes in
the tree."
