Thanks David, I'll make the remaining patches too.

Probably, but we want to avoid the secondary way if possible,
as this path might have to traverse two different chains.

(total of three cache line accesses to only take a look at chains head/count)

Maybe we can change the heuristic to take into account this like that :

if (hslot->count > 4) {
	...
	if (hslot->count < hslot2->count * 2)
		goto begin_primary_hash_lookup;

This is tuning, and needs benchmarking.
