Im not sure this benchmark is measuring the things that a BTreeFolder
should excel at....

One advantage of a BTreeFolder is that you can access *one* if its
contained items without having to load *all* of the others. All of
your tests iterate through the whole content.

Secondly, it should be possible to add two items simultaneously
without causing a conflict, however your creation test has no
concurrency.
