This may be an interesting weakness with the StackOverflow system; if there's an answer that used to be very good, it may take a lot to knock it out of the first position when reality changes.

- mcguire 13y agoI don't know of a performance comparison between SipHash and other secure hashes other than [1], which compares it to MD5, "Python's new randomized hash, with a 128-bit key and 64-bit output", and a couple of SHA's. It is significantly slower than DJB2, though. [1] http://bench.cr.yp.to/results-auth.html http://bench.cr.yp.to/results-auth.html
