These hash tables are not based on plain linear probing, they use something that's essentially quadratic probing done in chunks. Not sure about the others but they might be doing something similar.
These three and boost are all based on swiss tables. They are indeed more robust than plain linear probing. khashl is the only one here using basic linear probing. Without salting, its curve is through the roof, much worse than swiss tables.
