That is indeed an improvement.  More structure sharing?  In any case, I found
that using 60M for 6000 items to be a bit much in my app.  I suspect it also
led to some amount of slowdown for all the mem mgmt.  However, I'm not
currently able to build treectrl from CVS - some transition from themeData
in/out of the TreeCtrl structure?
