Yes you're right, there's a lot of code to go with this, about 1400 lines.

The reason I'm using an array, is based on command line options I'm passing in, I'm creating either a hex tree or a binary tree. I'm doing this becuase I'm using perl to get stats on the tree (as in the number of bits per prefix and such) for a piece of hardware we are putting a similar data structure in. This is basically our model, for the limiting case.

Now as you may imagine, with this comes the idea that processing it takes a while. I've gotten it down to about 13 minutes on a dataset of 90,000+ records, using recursive calls and storing more data in nodes. If I were to add an isLeaf member function, I would have the cpu overhead of a function call every time I wanted to use that. I may switch it to 1/0, but doesn't that get rounded up to a 64-bit integer?

I'm not seeing much space saved there.

Thanks for the reply.
