The htable size is static; it doesn't dynamically resize itself up to the next power of 2 after a certain utilisation threshold, right?

Hi Alex,

i think this is a static setting, as the memory is allocated on startup in shared memory. Do you've run into performance problems or memory size constraints with the htable module?

None whatsoever, I was just curious from a theoretical perspective.

The answer lets me know in an a priori way whether the htable is optimal for applications involving rapidly shrinking or contracting data sets, by several factors.
