But does this really help filtering out most hashes ? By most hahses I mean
at least more than 90% otherwise we may not see desired
performance benefits due to extra branching and extra code.
Also 64K loaded hahses seems to fit well within local memory using bitmaps
but 16M wont fit into local memory even with bitmaps. However chances of
rejection is higher with 16M bitmap.
