The tree is built during the input read phase and
written when the input is exhausted through a stdio
interface. 9 days and counting for the read phase, it
didn't even get round to writing.

The bottleneck seems to be kfs' reading the fresh data.
Fat kfs buffers don't solve the initial read problem,
the system generally is a bit slicker once the data is
cached.
