Buffer size is 8 times larger than required.

Reasoning:
   'var n = Math.ceil(m / 32);' <- n is size in double words
   ArrayBuffer takes size in bytes. Convert double word size to byte size = multiplying by 4.

Current code converted double word back to bits.

Bloom Filter

This JavaScript bloom filter implementation uses the non-cryptographic FowlerNollVo hash function for speed.

Usage

var bloom = new BloomFilter(
  32 * 256, // number of bits to allocate.
  16        // number of hash functions.
);

// Add some elements to the filter.
bloom.add("foo");
bloom.add("bar");

// Test if an item is in our filter.
// Returns true if an item is probably in the set,
// or false if an item is definitely not in the set.
bloom.test("foo");
bloom.test("bar");
bloom.test("blah");

Implementation

Although the bloom filter requires k hash functions, we can simulate this using only two hash functions. In fact, we cheat and get the second hash function almost for free by iterating once more on the first hash using the FNV hash algorithm.

Thanks to Will Fitzgerald for his help and inspiration with the hashing optimisation.
