I suspect you want many collisions, just a good even distribution of those collisions,"Collision resistance" in this context usually refers to avoidance of *spurious* collisions - i.e. those above the level that would occur with an ideal distribution - so "even distribution" is a good summary of its practical effect.
Hmmm ... I have an interest in trying out alternative hashing schemes, specifically ones that give a good distribution over large numbers of bricks.
Mebbe I'll look at that code if I get the chance ... -- Joseph Landman, Ph.D Founder and CEO Scalable Informatics Inc. email: address@hidden web : http://scalableinformatics.com http://scalableinformatics.com/jackrabbit phone: +1 734 786 8423 x121 fax : +1 866 888 3112 cell : +1 734 612 4615
