What hash function you use for hash maps / hash tables?

• cityhash

  2 1,054 0.0 Shell

  Automatically exported from code.google.com/p/cityhash

  

However, it's not the fastest. I found that Google CityHash was faster and produced slightly different hashvals. This was tested on billions of entries. https://github.com/google/cityhash

• wyhash

  9 913 6.6 C

  The FASTEST QUALITY hash function, random number generators (PRNG) and hash map.

I recently switched to wyhash as it seems to have a good combination of speed and stability.
