The newcenturycomputers RBTree is similarly slow on CPython 2.x, CPython
3.x, PyPy and Jython.   I imagine the tree depth is getting deeper than it
should, but I've not verified that.  Also, the other datastructures I'm
comparing it to: B+ Tree, AVL Tree, Treap, etcetera are pure python too,
but they're performing reasonably - in fact, my expectations are pretty
much defined by these.

(OK, the treap code has a Cython version, but I'm not using that in this
project)

Thanks for the response.
