No, I actually didn't realize that |

Actually I might be wrong about that, I assumed it came from the pointer. |
Not sure what's happening, but it seems to be preserved within a given precompile/sysimg. |

While we're speeding this up, would it make sense to change the behavior of hashing small arrays (<25 elements say) to hash all elements rather than |
|
If that's viable I'd be fine with it, but it's a different kind of change than the one here and should be a separate PR. |

Previously, the `object_id` lookup for `hash(AbstractArray, h)` dominated the hashing time for `AbstractArray`: ``` julia> using StaticArrays, BenchmarkTools julia> a = @svector [1,2,3,4,5]; julia> @Btime hash($a, UInt(0)) 77.935 ns (0 allocations: 0 bytes) 0xdeb6d0657a261f74 julia> @Btime hash(AbstractArray, UInt(0)) 58.643 ns (0 allocations: 0 bytes) 0xc03f1dbe32103a9e ``` This replaces the hash of the objectid with a static randomly-generated number. Now: ``` julia> @Btime hash($a, UInt(0)) 18.580 ns (0 allocations: 0 bytes) 0x5e77b8bf73067ebd ``` and for a random `Float64` vector ``` julia> @Btime hash($a, UInt(0)) 29.031 ns (0 allocations: 0 bytes) 0x9a574d69612587eb ``` Co-authored-by: Milan Bouchet-Valat <nalimilan@club.fr>

Currently, hashing AbstractArrays begins with hashing the type itself:
hash(AbstractArray, h)This ends up using the
object_idfallback, and it turns out to dominate the hashing time for smallAbstractArrays:This replaces the hash of the objectid with a static randomly-generated
number. Now:
and for a random
Float64vectorHowever, I'm unsure whether in #26022 this design was deliberate in making the hashing vary across sessions. If so, perhaps we could generate a random number on Julia startup? I'd be grateful for feedback from @mbauman.
