I thought this was going to be about xxHash, which is awesome

  xxHash is legacy, replaced by xx3. Still not the fastest block hash, https://github.com/rurban/smhasher https://github.com/rurban/smhasher This is a good survey paper about the old, known, fast, simple one-line hashes. I've tested all of them in smhasher also. They are all *not* recommended for production use.

    what? xx3 is xxHash. and your own page says "the fastest hash functions on x86_64 without quality problems are: xxh3low" Whether its the fastEST, it is fast as hell. And why not use in production? (yes, I know it is not cryptographically sound, that's not why I'm using it)

      Two different things. Look again. xxh3 is the new one, xxHash the old one.

        Wow, you really seem to have something against xxHash (of which xxh3 is the newest/best variant, but still part of the xxHash family http://cyan4973.github.io/xxHash http://cyan4973.github.io/xxHash). I'm starting to doubt whether your benchmarks are accurate, either due to malice or some type of incompetence.

          Each variant is its own. xxHash is very different, and I have nothing against any. You obviously want to deflect from mixing them up, your own incompetence.
