I just pushed a cleanup of that area.  CPU usage should be close to flat as 
the table grows.

In hindsight, things were screwed up worse than I expected.  I'd noticed a 
limit of 16 bits for the hash table, but the setup routine was getting called 
before reading the config file so it allocated the hash table using the 
default parameters.  That turned out to be 8K slots which ends up with 
hundreds of entries chained off each slot.

Is anybody other than me and Mike interested in large MRU lists?
