Attached patch patchSplinter Review
HashTable::tableCapacity is redundant with respect to HashTable::hashShift. The attached patch removes it and replaces occurrences of it with calls to HashTable::capacity(), which computes the capacity from HashTable::hashShift. This reduces the minimum size of a HashTable object from 24 to 20 bytes on 32-bit platforms, and from 32 to 24 bytes on 64-bit platforms. Loading Gmail and TechCrunch I see up to 5000 HashTables live at any one time, so it can save up to ~40KB on 64-bit platforms for that workload. Pretty small, but pretty easy too. I run Sunspider to check there was no adverse performance effects, changes were neglible.

Summary: Shrink HashTable → Shrink js::HashTable
Could you also test Kraken and V8?
Kraken and V8 both also have negligible changes.
