Red/black trees

[Matthew Dillon]

:So what advantage do the red-black trees have, since the previous data
:structure has been working fine for some time?

    The previous data structure was a doubly linked list with a bunch of
    hacks to try to make insertions go faster.  The red-black tree should
    be just as fast, and not require any hacks.  Plus we can simplify
    the clustering and fsyncing code, and make other optimizations.
