Performance
The advantage of this algorithm is that the time to register a new resource reservation depends only on the calendar size (it does not depend on the total number of reservations).
Let "n" be the number of elementary periods in the calendar.
The maximal number of "top-nodes" for a given reservation is 2.log n.
- to check if an amount of resource is available during a specific period of time : O(log n)
- to reserve an amount of resource for a specific period of time : O(log n)
- to delete a previous reservation : O(log n)
- to move the calendar forward : O(log n + M.log n)
where M is the number of reservations that are active during the added calendar periods.
(M = 0 if reservations are not allowed after the end of the calendar.)

Famous quotes containing the word performance:
“Just as the performance of the vilest and most wicked deeds requires spirit and talent, so even the greatest demand a certain insensitivity which under other circumstances we would call stupidity.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
“True balance requires assigning realistic performance expectations to each of our roles. True balance requires us to acknowledge that our performance in some areas is more important than in others. True balance demands that we determine what accomplishments give us honest satisfaction as well as what failures cause us intolerable grief.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
“What avails it that you are a Christian, if you are not purer than the heathen, if you deny yourself no more, if you are not more religious? I know of many systems of religion esteemed heathenish whose precepts fill the reader with shame, and provoke him to new endeavors, though it be to the performance of rites merely.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
