One important consideration is missing from this benchmark: how they behave with multi-threading. There can be big differences between diffent hash table implementation when you have to use them from different threads (built-in smart thread safety vs external dumb locks, etc)


That has nothing to do with this. Granular lock free tables will outperform global locking by orders of magnitude, but it has to be designed differently from the ground up.
