>  Also, the current Btree implementation isn't completely self balanacing. It
> misses a balancing condition, partially for efficiency (it's an expensive
> balancing operation), and for expediency. It was easier to not implement it and
> gets the general case perormance boost.
>  The thing about this is, the btree code can remain as is if the indexing
> compaction just recopies the map values (and back indexes) and recomputes the
> reduction values. That's a very simple design, however, if the btree is
> completely self balancing, then the btree can be copied on a node by node basis,
> instead of a value by value basis, and the reduction values need not be
> recomputed all. This will make the compaction significantly faster overall.
