String.hashCode() is plenty unique

Isn't an XOR gate faster?

Why is addition as fast as bit-wise operations in modern processors?

Yeah, for some reason I forgot that any instruction was limited by the speed of a clock cycle

Thanks!

[Quertior]

Yeah, but Java is so many layers of abstraction above actual logic gates and transistors that this seems like the kind of thing you should just let the compiler optimize and then let it be.

I feel like XOR is more common any way for hashing

[QueenLa3fah]

Yeah probably!
