xxHash has a 64-bit version.

All modern hashes are designed for 64-bit architectures and some even rely on recent instruction sets. So a benchmark on an old 32-bit CPU isn't indicative of the performance you'll see on a modern processor, e.g. Metrohash will definitely not be 5x slower than xxHash.

Not sure what you're trying to say.

I'm asking for an apples-to-apples comparison here. Using one figure from a random CPU on github and comparing it to another figure from a different random CPU on github is not an apples to apples comparison.

I don't think anyone claimed xxhash would be 5x faster than metrohash. (Maybe you are getting the 5x number from metrohash's claim that it is 5x faster than siphash?)
