A new header-only C++23 library uses compile-time perfect hashing to speed up string lookups, with its author claiming performance above one billion queries per second. The approach aims to avoid runtime collision handling and trim the work involved in comparing strings.
Why it mattersThe reported speed is a striking benchmark, not a general promise for every workload. For developers, the useful question is whether the technique holds up on their data and hardware, rather than whether a headline-friendly number can sprint past a billion.
Discuss: When assessing a performance library, what matters more to you: its best-case benchmark or evidence that it performs well on real workloads?
