You should probably ask this on netdev (netdev@oss.sgi.com). However, I've
seen the code and I know the quality of Jamal and Alexeys work, I would
suspect that Linux will not ever be your bottleneck.

Lots of places use hashtables to speed up processing. I got mail from a guy
who did really incredible things with Linux and shaping, also with hundreds
of interfaces.
