FYI: Micro-optimization for HashMap.rehash()

Hi,

The following is a little micro-optimization for HashMap.rehash().

2004-04-29  Mark Wielaard  <mark@xxxxxxxxx>
 
        Reported by f.haeglsperger@xxxxxx [patch #2485]
        * java/util/HashMap.java (rehash): Add entry at start of bucket.

Your hash function has to be pretty for this to be noticeable. But bad
hash functions are not that rare so I guess this will help at least
someone.

Cheers,

Mark
