That was my point...it doesn't really matter much in your case what number you chose to make the hash table.
Give some more information about what you are trying to achieve.
1) Why are you writing to .txt files still?
2) In that list that you gave, I don't see valid IP addresses, just some random numbers.
3) Why are you using a timer to add items to your hash table?
4) What is $1 (I know it's a number but what is it for?)
More information plz, I'm sure it's something very easy to script, but tell us more about what kind of input your script gets, why you are writing to .txt file, and what the purpose is for...

Edit: the <N> does not mean the speed of 12, it simply allocates space for the amount of items you are planning to add.
