The performance with 1.5-master is now very close to 1.3 for 3/4 of the benchmark.

However, this code is still showing 43% performance drop (3411 ms VS 6030 ms – 1.3 VS 1.5-master):

(def str-keys (map str (range mm)))
(def m (zipmap str-keys (range mm)))
(time (dotimes [i mm] (doseq [k str-keys] (m k))))

Please, could you add as a comment the bench result using 1.3 vs 1.5-master-post-patch?

I now get the following results:

Version: 1.4.0
"Elapsed time: 6281.345 msecs"
"Elapsed time: 6344.321 msecs"
"Elapsed time: 6108.55 msecs"
"Elapsed time: 36172.135 msecs"

Version: 1.5.0-master-SNAPSHOT (pre-patch)
"Elapsed time: 6126.337 msecs"
"Elapsed time: 6320.857 msecs"
"Elapsed time: 6237.251 msecs"
"Elapsed time: 18167.05 msecs"

Version: 1.5.0-master-SNAPSHOT (post-patch)
"Elapsed time: 6501.929 msecs"
"Elapsed time: 3861.987 msecs"
"Elapsed time: 3871.557 msecs"
"Elapsed time: 5049.067 msecs"

Marking as screened

Timothy: I inadvertently deleted a "public" modifier before commiting... fixed in caching-hasheq-v3.diff

For some reason I can't get v2 to build against master. It applies cleanly, but fails to build.
