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?
There's no need for a crypto-hash here.
Do you think I don't know?
Crypto hash is just an example of near-ideal pseudo-random uniformity.
