Yes, the AVL trees are like you describe, but the caching may not be because it's not clear to me (and I'm writing for ASP.NET and IIS although have yet to look into caching) if knowing when could cache needs just a lead bullet or a silver one. For more, I'm not deep enough into the internals of ASP.NET, the Windows 'global assembly cache', just how SQL Server connection pools work, etc. to know where the silver bullets would be in such work. So, my examples of bullets are too close to lead bullets unless the price of silver has declined a lot!
