Ok, done so. Used Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen's benchmark.el (from
quimby.gnus.org).

(benchmark 10000 (gnus-sethash (int-to-string (random 1000))
                               (random 1000)
                               hashtable))

(benchmark 10000 (gnus-gethash (int-to-string (random 1000))
                               hashtable))


the same for puthash/gethash (with makehash called without args). I
made garbage collections before each measurement. gc-cons-threshold's
value is 3000000 and the repeat count to benchmark only 10000 to
prevent any garbage collections.

The result is astonishing: performance is nearly identical for this
_very_ limited testset.
