wyrng has been shown to have some flaws within the randomness
(from official repo )

Both of them are not 64 bit collision resistant, but is about 62 bits (flyingmutant/Cyan4973/vigna)
When test on longer dataset (32TB, 23 days), wyrand will fail practrand (vigna)

Would there be interest in implementing an alternative hash?

If there is interest, I think I might take a try in implementing it.
I think possible candidates would be highwayhash or xxh3
The former has a bit stronger preliminary (but not full) cryptanalysis. But both pass smhasher without problems without known hash issues.

Both are known to be fast.
I do want to add that all algorithms, including wyhash, has strong and weak points regarding speed depending on input length, output length, specific implementation (if SIMD which ISA?).
So I think it would not be fair to judge speed without seeing the actual implementation here.

If there is interest I might proceed as follows.
I shall assume that there is a desire here to keep it simple and not add another dependency

1. abstract current implementation within the codebase and isolate it
2. implement an alternate hash and then provide a way to select it, or maintain a branch
3. provide benchmarks to compare the two.
