Actually someone (I think it was Evgeniy in fact) made such
comparisons and found in his studies that not only does the current
ehash xor hash function distribute about as well as jenkins, it's
significantly cheaper to calculate :-)

If you find jenkins is better, great, but I hope it works that
way for many workloads.
