If you chose a prime whose double is beyond 64 bit there's an

I've done that with a prime of my own choosing and also with
18446744073709551557, the value you suggested.

Oh get real.  It's not my job to make up for your
laziness.

So, what were your conclusions?
Ignoring the speed of computation, would something like cryptographic
hash scaled to bucket size be a best hash for this type of application?
Or some sort of less thorough grinding of the bits is better?
