Summary:Abstract: "In order to gain maximal efficiency of the concurrent use of search trees the number of nodes to be locked at a time should be as small as possible, and the locks should be released as soon as possible. We propose a new rebalancing method for binary search trees that allows rebalancing to be uncoupled from updating, so as to make updating faster. The trees we use are obtained by relaxing the balance conditions of red- black trees. When not involved with updating, the rebalancing task can be performed as a shadow process being active all the time, or it can be performed outside rush hours, at night for example."
