Maybe you want to backport those to idutils instead? :) Half of the performance improvement comes from hashing (a mix of hashing faster, hashing better, and improved cache behavior from linear probing). > These changes are significant enough that I think they'll require > copyright assignment paperwork.

I forgot to mention that I did this work while being employed by Red Hat and on company time, so I do not need copyright assignment.
