Subject: Re: Indexing hash with longer strings faster?

Is this 1.8?
Given your results it is not completely unthinkable that the hash
values for "00".."99" have more collisions and if collision handling
is with linked lists that might slow down.
A priori I would not believe in that but why not check?

I get in 1.9 the expected
 [*"00".."99"].map( &:hash ).uniq.size
=> 100

can you try this in 1.8
  ...map{ |x| x.hash }.uniq.size

?
