I think it's about performance/node overhead (less rebalances, you 
allocate arrays and not individual nodes). But for memory, T-Trees are 
the way to go. They are used by many in-memory DBs.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-tree

"In computer science a T-tree is a type of binary tree data structure 
that is used by main-memory databases, such as Datablitz, eXtremeDB, 
MySQL Cluster, Oracle TimesTen and KairosMobileLite"

Best,
