Well, just use unionfind to record the equivalences found and then
prior checking the hashtable ask it for equivalence class representative.
Either you will already find that the pairs are equivalent (in faster
way than by querying the hash) or you at least save the memory by caching
the negative andwers only across the equivalence classes.

I hacked quick unionfind two days ago, but the stopper is that the cache
is temporarily caching equilvaences in SCC regions.  You mentioned it is no
longer neccesary, so perhaps if you send me patch to remove this, I can give
a try to this idea.
