Very interesting... even accounting for the large amount of variation 
between runs, LIFO seems to far exceed the throughput at which FIFO 
collapses (with no flow control in either case - there's no clear 
advantage to using LIFO if you already have flow control). I've 
experimented with LIFO instead of FIFO in some simulations of a flooding 
protocol and it seems to work well there too.

I haven't measured the route length I'm afraid; in fact I'm not sure 
it's well-defined for all searches - what's the route length for an 
insert that leaves data at multiple branches of the search tree?

Thanks - the changes look good to me.

Cheers,
