Summary: Use an alternate version of hashing algorithm for symbol and 
string tables and after a certain bucket size to improve performance

This code rehashes the symbol table and/or string table using the 
murmur3 hash algorithm, if the buckets become unbalanced.

This is the JVM side to the JDK performance improvement in changeset
