Yes it is power of trie.

So connection rates are interesting, but what about raw lookup
performance?  Last time this topic came up you went into some
cave when you looked at the trie lookup assembly and compared
it to hash. :)

It does make more memory references than hash by definition, and we
need to figure out whether that matters enough or not.
