Description
A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
I have a JTable with variable-height rows. Since SizeSequence requires O(N) to process inserts and removes, inserts and removes to my JTable are very slow.

The SizeSequence should be changed to use a tree internally so that all operations are O(log N).

JUSTIFICATION :
Adding or removing a single row to a table of size N rows takes N operations. This causes JTable to be very slow. By using a tree to store data inside SizeSequence, the number of operations could be reduced to O(log N).

When filtering is applied to a JTable, several rows may be inserted or deleted at once. For example, if a filter of N elements removes N/2 elements, then the cost to perform this filter is O(N^2).

This could also be made even faster by lazy-updating within SizeSequence.
