-, original submission:  

It might be useful to have a minimum load parameter that allows libihash to shrink the hash table when the load factor drops below a minimum value.

The task includes to determine if and under which usage patterns this is useful behaviour, and to implement this feature.

A minimum load factor of 100 would always keep the hash table as small as possible.  A minimum load of 0 would disable this feature.

Determining the feasibility of this feature and applications for it might take some time.  The actual implementation is easy.  Only the time for the latter is included in the "Hours" field.
