Just to clear up a common point of confusion: the "Robin Hood" scheme that is commonly used these days is not a multiple hashing solution like the original research paper from the 1980s (and Cuckoo hash table).
What's used these days should be called "Robin Hood linear probing" or something else. It's just a variant of linear probing where an entry occupying a "better" slot than the one being inserted gets pushed back.
It might still be an interesting comparison but I'm under the impression that Robin Hood is a very good solution for a general purpose hash table.
