HashMap has 1 million entries. Performance is degrading. Why, and how would you resolve it?
Tests whether you check the initial capacity/load factor first -- an undersized initial capacity forces repeated resize-and-rehash cycles as the map grows to a million entries, and the fix is pre-sizing the map to its expected final size instead of letting it grow incrementally from the default 16.
