I think that while theoretically sound, the universal hashing used seems insufficient in practice - it's being vastly outperformed by the double-hashing scheme implemented, which uses fewer hash functions in practice.

In the future, I would like to play around with an alternative hashing scheme, perhaps:

which is in the arxiv here:
