Yeah, the existing way of sizing them is very bad on large systems and hardcoding a size sucks (though that's what we do on large Altix systems now). IIRC there was some talk about using a different data structure here - something that wouldn't require a fixed size and that could maintain reasonably fast lookup even when it got large. Robert, has work been done to use TRASH to address this problem?
