Those are fine arguments, and I'm not not taking a stand one way or the other.   I just think that if you're going to make the argument that we "pay a penalty" then that penalty should be quantified, or else people can't reasonably consider it.

Also, we will want to explain in the upcoming release notes that "hash lookups are now X.X% faster, and hash stores are Y.Y% faster."
