An Empirical Comparison of B-Trees, Compact B-Trees and Multiway Trees
Summary: Empirical performance comparison of B-trees, compact B-trees and multiway trees across small and large orders, evaluating search, insertion, and space costs. Results: multiway trees seldom beat B-trees in practice; compact B-trees degrade with insertions and suit static data. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
