I'd consider switching back, though I don't really like that MurmurHash has a number of separate implementations targeted at different platforms, each having different performance characteristics.  It's 4x faster than SuperFastHash on x86 but 10x slower than SuperFastHash on SPARC, for example.

Would it be possible to use different algorithms on different platforms?
