while cryptographic hashes would fit the bill, there's plenty non-cryptographic hashes with equally good key distribution properties and avalanche behaviour, that are an order of magnitude faster to compute (some, like the FNV hash are even super-easy to implement yourself). These are the hashes used in hash-tables etc, not cryptographic hashes.
