It looks like you can disable the slower randomized hashing yourself by setting PYTHONHASHSEED to 0. Though I don't know if there's further speedup to be had by using a different hash implementation.

That only disables the keying of the hash function (sets the initial value to 0), it does not change the hash function.

The hashseed is a per-process value, it has basically no impact on performances.
