Hi,

Can you share reasons to change list implementations?

Do you mean why I switched from the "skip list" to a "AVL tree" and then to
a "B-tree"? Yes. I implemented the skip list algorithm because it was new
to me (so - not because of concurrency or so). Then I switched to AVL tree
because it was faster for in-memory operations. Then I switched to B-tree
because it was faster for disk based operations (actually it is not much
slower for in-memory operations either). My skip list implementation was
relatively slow and used more memory. Some recent research says B-trees are
good for in-memory use.

Regards,
Thomas
