Fastest hash function


Hi,
I am interested in fast hashers(targeted on alpha strings to be more specific). Here is one of my two hash-of-choice functions:

Code:
UINT FNV1A_Hash_WHIZ(const char *str, SIZE_T wrdlen)
{
	const UINT PRIME = 1607;

	UINT hash32 = 2166136261;
	const char *p = str;

	for(; wrdlen >= sizeof(DWORD); wrdlen -= sizeof(DWORD), p += sizeof(DWORD)) {
		hash32 = (hash32 ^ *(DWORD *)p) * PRIME;
	}
	if (wrdlen & sizeof(WORD)) {
		hash32 = (hash32 ^ *(WORD*)p) * PRIME;
		p += sizeof(WORD);
	}
	if (wrdlen & 1) 
		hash32 = (hash32 ^ *p) * PRIME;

	return hash32 ^ (hash32 >> 16);
}
The speed/collision performance on Intel Atom N450 1.66GHz:

Code:

The second function is called 'Sixtinsensitive' with source code at link below.
