Einar, presumably you're thinking of hash, hash2, lists?

1) iirc hash was dominated by constructing the hash key rather than
using the hashtable, which is why Doug Bagley came-up-with hash2.

k-nucleotide (new) is all hashtable.

2) lists is a mish-mash of different data structures, rather than a
comparison of languages

health is just linked-list
http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/sandbox/benchmark.php?test=health&lang=all&sort=fullcpu#about


3) hash, hash2 and lists are on The Doug Bagley
