So i think i should proceed with VW latter solution:

Rationale:

Turning Float hash to Fraction hash really spoils things (factor 100) :

Time millisecondsToRun: [10000 timesRepeat: [Float pi asFraction hash]].
    1217
Time millisecondsToRun: [10000 timesRepeat: [Float pi hash]].
    13

But turning Fraction hash to Float hash does harm less (factor 10):
| tmp |

tmp := Float pi asFraction.
Array
    with: (Time millisecondsToRun: [10000 timesRepeat: [tmp hash]])
    with: (Time millisecondsToRun: [10000 timesRepeat: [tmp asFloat hash]])
  #(47 339)

This first naive implementation does not handle large fractions well (all
 have same Float infinity hash), but this can be fixed later (since they do
 not equal... but wait, wait, they equal ! arghh see another bug in next
 mail).
