I have been trying to build an efficient b-trees datastructure(container) which would work really well, decoupled from the underlying storage ( RAM, hard disk .. ) by abstracting the storage operations and offloading optimization decisions to the 'engine' that will manage the storage.

Gears of War, an amazing game that I have been wanting to get my hands on since I saw the first screenshots, some months ago, released today in the US.
