C# is also taking about twice as long, so it sounds like poor IO performance 
in C#.

I profiled for the wrong input originally. With the correct input, 50% of the 
time in the OCaml implementation is spent replacing hash table buckets. That 
is data structure intensive and is stressing the GC. Only 12.5% is spent 
computing hashes.
