I really enjoyed this article, most of all because it made me think of all those times where I've seen the same results, but never thought it was actually a recognized concept.
I fondly remember my first free text index which was basicly a binary tree of all words found in a collection of 20000 largeish text files.
It took longer to free the resulting tree at shutdown than it took to load it from disk at startup, so I ended up never free()ing the data and because the program was shutting down it never mattered.
