The compiler does not convert the above code to 'hashtable lookup'.

To have a look at produced code.
* put your (Caml) code in some file say a.ml;
* compile as ocamlopt -S a.ml
* look at a.s

You can also use various options, such as -dlambda or -dcmm, to
see intermediate stages of the compilation process.
