// Implementation of the unordered associative mapping interface using a
// minimal perfect hash function.
//
// This class is about 20% to 100% slower than unordered_map (or ext/hash_map)
// and should not be used if performance is a concern. In fact, you should only
// use it for educational purposes.
// This class not necessarily faster than unordered_map (or ext/hash_map).
// Benchmark your code before using it. If you do not call rehash() before
// starting your reads, it will be definitively slower than unordered_map.

// See http://www.strchr.com/crc32_popcnt and new Murmur3 function to try to beat stl
// For large sets of urls, which are a somewhat expensive to compare, I found
// this class to be about 10% faster than unordered_map.
//
// The space overhead of this map is 1.93 bits per bucket and it achieves 100%
// occupation with a rehash call.
