Review Comment:
   That is to say, the underlying JDK implementation will not vectorize if the 
array is less than 8 bytes, so there's no reason to jump into 
`Arrays.hashCode(bytes)`, it just falls back into the serial execution anyway. 
There is some other overhead involved as well, so it is just best to bypass it 
if the array is sufficiently small.
