overhead! The SparseHash library contains several hash map
implementations, including implementations that optimize for space
or speed.
These hashtable implementations are similar in API to SGI's hash_map
class and the tr1 unordered_map class, but with different performance
characteristics. It's easy to replace hash_map or unordered_map by
sparse_hash_map or dense_hash_map in C++ code.
They also contain code to serialize and unserialize from disk.
This is a prerequisite of upcoming Clementine.
