Sorry - I'm being thick. Is the new hashing good or bad? (Usually, performance is thought of as something 'good', so when you say it is 'brought down', that sounds 'bad', but since it's ms/iteration, I'm guessing that you mean to say that the ms/iteration is lower, which would I guess improves performance, so I'm guessing that bringing performance down is 'good' in this case, which is not idiomatic to the particular version of English I happen to speak ... So please favor this poor old brain of mine and state outright whether the new hash is good or bad. Does the new hash makes performance better or worse?) -- I won't rest till it's the best ...
