When does a HashMap bucket become a Red-Black Tree?
Tests whether you know the exact thresholds -- a bucket treeifies once its chain hits 8 entries AND the table has at least 64 buckets (otherwise it resizes instead), and untreeifies back to a linked list once it drops to 6 -- not just the vague idea that 'long chains become trees.'
