All of this is true but it's not very useful for hash tables
(crypto-strength hash functions are generally too slow for the
purpose) :)

Depends on the size of the table... I work with a algrothem that
regularly has tables between 2^32 and 2^64 buckets (even though the we
use a slightly different terminology)
