Hmm. The patch depends on half-way subtle issues like the fact that the 
hashtables are guaranteed to not be full => we're guaranteed to have zero 
counts at the end => we don't need to do any steenking iterator count in 
the loop. A few comments might in order.

The patch actually is quite readable.  That double-loop finding
the matching hashval in destination hash was simply silly to
begin with, so even if this is not "orders of magnitude"
improvement, I think your patch is worth doing.
