+<p>This test inserts a number of values with keys from an
+ arbitrary text ([ <a href="references.html#wickland96thirty">wickland96thirty</a> ]) into

+<h2><a name="observations" id="observations">Observations</a></h2>
+<p>In this setting, the range-hashing scheme (See <a href="hash_based_containers.html#hash_policies">Design::Associative
+ Containers::Hash-Based Containers::Hash Policies</a> ) affects
+ performance more than other policies. As Figure <a href="#NCCG">NCCG</a> shows, containers using mod-based
+ range-hashing (including the native hash-based container, which
+ is currently hard-wired to this scheme) have lower performance
+ than those using mask-based range-hashing. A modulo-based
+ range-hashing scheme's main benefit is that it takes into
+ account all hash-value bits. Standard string hash-functions are
+ designed to create hash values that are nearly-uniform as is [
+ <a href="references.html#knuth98sorting">knuth98sorting</a>
+ ].</p>
+<p>Trigger policies (see <a href="hash_based_containers.html#resize_policies">Design::Associative
+ Containers::Hash-Based Containers::Resize Policies</a> ),
+ <i>i.e.</i> the load-checks constants, affect performance to a
+ lesser extent.</p>
+<p>Perhaps surprisingly, storing the hash value alongside each
+ entry affects performance only marginally, at least in
+ <tt>pb_ds</tt> 's implementation. (Unfortunately, it was not
+ possible to run the tests with <tt>std::tr1::unordered_map</tt>
+ 's <tt>cache_hash_code = <b>true</b></tt> , as it appeared to
+ malfuntion.)</p>
