Are you familiar with hashing in general?  If not, please have a look here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_table#Performance_analysis
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_function

If you want true numbers you need to benchmark because all theory may 
fail you for particular data or access patterns.

You can't modify internal workings of the built in Hash class unless you 
start patching the C code.  But of course you can create your own 
implementation for custom cases.

Cheers
