    bbtree claims to be the fastest Rust B-tree map implementation

    bbtree is a no‑std, zero‑dependency B‑tree map that the author says is up to five times faster than the standard library's BTreeMap on a single thread and scales to 12× faster than crossbeam‑skiplist on 96 threads, while using less memory. Developers may consider it as a drop‑in replacement for ordered maps in performance‑critical code.
