Interesting work, but outside of the change of hash function I'm not so
sure.  The whole reason we went to the timestamp field was to eliminate
the coarse tables.

I understand that he claims that %99.99 of connections are handled by
the values he has chosen, but this is still a step backwards in my
opinion.
