Go vs Java benchmark: apache/datasketches-characterization#89

code:

func BenchmarkHashAndScreen(b *testing.B) {
	b.Run("most hashes passes", func(b *testing.B) {
		ht := NewHashtable(10, 10, ResizeX2, 1.0, MaxTheta, DefaultSeed, true)
		b.ReportAllocs()
		b.ResetTimer()
		for i := 0; i < b.N; i++ {
			_, _ = ht.HashInt64AndScreen(int64(i))
		}
	})

	b.Run("hashes exceed theta", func(b *testing.B) {
		ht := NewHashtable(10, 10, ResizeX2, 0.001, 1000, DefaultSeed, true)
		b.ReportAllocs()
		b.ResetTimer()
		for i := 0; i < b.N; i++ {
			_, _ = ht.HashInt64AndScreen(int64(i))
		}
	})
}

Sorry for not considering performance in hot path when i wrote code and Thank you for accepting breaking change.

Don't be sorry, thanks for the time you put into this!
