An Evaluation of Generic Bulk Loading Techniques

Summary: Introduces two simple, low-parameter generic bulk-loaders that recursively partition data using an in-memory index matching the target structure. A shared implementation across R-trees and Slim-trees outperforms worst-case-optimal methods and improves search quality. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
