I fully agree. I mention this all the time.

No. I looked at the hash function and bucket sizes, because I now have
machines in the field running conntrack, and I wanted to understand
how I should chose an appropriate size. So I took real world conntrack
snapshots on those machines, and analysed. I learned all there is to
learn about the question, and present the results for others to use
like they see fit. End of story.
Again, I have no performance trouble with conntracking on any of my
production systems.
