15-line hash table in C

why would you a 2 element array of int here instead of defining a struct of 2 ints?

A wasteful struct - are you kidding?

I'm not. Is there some performance penalty for using a struct over a 2 element array?

No performance penalty. It would make the code longer.

Consider "<Foo> in <bar> lines" type articles to be performance pieces - the point is to make it short, not readable or user friendly.

In this case, it makes no difference. The array is used instead of a struct to save a few lines of code and making the title of this post more impressive.
