Hi,

Radix trees have a memory complexity of ~O(n + log(n)). We have an
additional log(n) space requirement for the tree itself, but we linearly
safe memory for each node compared to the old implementation. Since n
beats log(n) at some point there is a point where we need less pages
with the new code than with the old. That break-even point is somewhere
around 32GB of RAM, for smaller sizes we need 2 additional pages at
most.

Numbers beat believes.
