hash algorithm for nginx cache

[Joe Bofh]

Igor,

It looks like nginx now has the beginnings of caching which is exciting
as I am looking forward to comparing this with varnish.

I did notice in the docs that the key/filename is a md5 hash. Have you
looked at the recent MurmurHash/FNV-1a hashes?

They are at least 2x faster than md5 which would be useful in this
scenario.

See

http://murmurhash.googlepages.com/

for sample implementations.
