The talkers claim and have shown that it's too easy to pre-calculate collisions with hashing algorithms similar to DJBX33X / DJBX33A. It might be a good idea to change the hashing algorithm, too. Paul as listed some new algorithms. Ruby 1.9 is using FNV http://isthe.com/chongo/tech/comp/fnv/ which promises to be fast with a good dispersion pattern. We already seem to be using a FNV-alike, is it just a matter of changing the parameters?
No, we are using something similar to DJBX33X. FNV is a completely different type of hash algorithm.
