This is great work you have done in analysis of how properties work on the FO Tree.
I don't think the redesign of this component will be trivial as there are trade-off's in performance due to the fact that the tree could be quite deep and the highest levels won't have long lifetimes that could benefit from more complex structures (which cost more to construct). I do think the component should be redesigned but I don't offer a replacement as I don't know what the future of the 0.20.5 code branch is.
Peter West has developed an Alternative-Design branch which focuses on managing Properties differently. You'll need to use a CVS client to gain access to this branch.
The 0.20.5 branch is froozen and development effort is focused on CVS HEAD. As far as I know the plan is to merge Peter's properties management into CVS HEAD at some point.
Fancy helping? All contributions are welcome.
Chris
