fwiw, I did a splay tree (aka. self-adjusting tree) for similar reasons that anyone is welcome to take a peek at. The self-adjusting property should theoretically provide cache-like behaviour when most of the lookups are to relatively few nodes in the tree. The downside is that the tree is modified by lookups.
