Tested this. Distribution and avalanche effect are still good. Speed
wise I see about a 33% improvement over siphash (20 nsecs/op versus 32
nsecs). That's about 3x of jhash speed (7 nsecs). So that might closer
to a more palatable replacement for jhash. Do we lose any security
advantages with halfsiphash?
