If they used new HashMap(89) instead of just new HashMap(), the lookup would not change for 2000 objects at all because the HashMap growth beyond the initial size is ((2 times initial size) plus 1) which with 89 as the starting point keeps the size of the HashMap with a prime number well over 2000 providing no difference in lookup at that size.
