Why do you need to change the hash size? We really don't
recommend anyone do this under normal circumstances

As it is written in the help, to lower the collisions in the case of a lot of concurrent connections. Or am I missing something?

not sure how big the collision problem is (have you measured an effect?) but Ratz put out the results of a back of the envelope calculation that the current value for the hash table size would work on the currect fastest machines with 3G of memory
