Re: Idea for ECMA/C# Standard - compile time hash for performance

Two reactions.

First, what is the nature of the keys you're using for lookup? Account
numbers? Something else? You may be able to design a better data
structure than a generic hash table to improve your speed.

Second, can you take advantage of multithreading and parallelism, and
in so doing move to a multi-CPU box and take advantage of those
multiple CPUs? Of course, it all depends upon the nature of your
problem: some problems don't scale well to parallel computing; others
do.
