this question is a bit of an odd ball I'm afraid. What I need to know
to be cache conscious when implementing a hash table is how an OS

Other than the technical bits discussed elsethread, you need a tool to help
you verify your assumptions and hypotheses:
http://valgrind.org/info/tools.html#cachegrind
Of course, such feedback will not be determinative regarding production
runs. |

appreciate everybody's viewpoints. Thanks go out to everyone!
