If anyone is interested in doing dirhash benchmarking then the
thing to time is probably the system time of the opperation you
are interested in. Also, doing:

	sysctl -w vfs.ufs.dirhash_docheck=0

before running the benchmark will turn off some debugging code in
dirhash. Ian has just disabeled this by default in -curren and it
will be disabeled in -stable shortly.
