The disadvantage with hashed page tables however is the problem that arises due to conflicts in mapping multiple pages onto the same hashed page table entry. If many pages map to the same entry, then traversing the list corresponding to that hash table entry could incur a significant overhead; such overheads are minimal in the segmented paging scheme where each page table entry maintains information regarding only one page.
