I recently implemented Treap, one of various kinds of binary search trees (BSTs), on Rust. It is a balanced BST, which means that it ensures that tree depth is always where n = (the number of items in a tree). That is achieved by using randomisation. (For more details see Treap — Wikipedia.)
Here are results of some experiments:
(1) Insertion of 10000 elements in the ascending order:

It took 11.7 seconds to insert 30000 elements in the ascending order, and it got Time Limit Exceeded (>15.0sec) when the number of elements is >100000. You'll see that the depth of the treap increases in logarithmic speed.
(2) Insertion of 10000 elements in a random order:

It took 11.8 seconds to insert 30000 elements in a random order. Like (1), the depth of the treap increases in logarithmic speed, too.
Here is a graph that indicates how the depth of the treap grows as the number of elements increases.
