How did you measure the performance, and what was the actual amount
of the increase?
Either way, the performance increase needs to be verified by the people
for whom the current code works well. As noted a couple months ago,
I am having a hard time imagining a tree beating a linked list of pages
of pointers in terms of cache locality. I added linux-arch on CC in
case I am out of date on how computer systems work.
In the meantime, I need you to hold off on this one.
Thanx, Paul
