The FAQ says

"Please note that due to the nature of the current hashing algorithm, an even hash bucket count (and esp. values of the power of two) are a bad choice."

Is this still true? What is the reason for this? And: Does
any odd hashtable size work as well as other odd hash tables sizes
in the same order of magnitude?

changing conntrack_max is not chaning the hash bucket count, that change can only be done in the code or as a module parameter at module load time.
