It sounds more like it would include the FIB too.

That's the second level cache, not the top level lookup which
is what hits %99 of the time.

The current FIBs have a bit heavier locking at least. Fine grain locking
btrees is also not easy/nice.

Also not necessary, only the top level cache really needs to be
top performance.
