Howdy,

Turns out that the Jenkins hash we have has been surpassed by the 
Murmur3 hash.
Switching to Murmur3 has increases PF's speed by 12% on a null 
forwarding test,
i.e. a test in which PF looks at every packet but doesn't taken an 
action.

Review here: https://phabric.freebsd.org/D406

Best,
George
