Many performance problems only become visible when changing the scaling knobs

upwards to large trees. On small trees its our baseline performance that drives

incremental improvements; on large trees its the amount of processing per item

data to be processed under control. Ideally we can scale in a sublinear fashion
109

for all operations, but we MUST NOT scale even linearly for operations that

invoke a latency multiplier. For example, reading a file on disk requires
