I don't think it is any kind of optimization. It would complicate Leo's code and data model to no purpose. The proper time to create Leo's nodes is when a file is read. Thereafter, the OS can handle memory allocation. All nodes will be needed when c.allNodes_iter is executed, so all this "optimization" does is fragment access to the disk. It's a bad idea in the presence of virtual memory.
