Fix PatchTree performance issues (#755)

When building the tree, I've implemented a few improvements:

- We no longer traverse the full ancestry for every leaf node- we exit
early when we find a node that already exists
- We no longer search the entire tree to see if a node id exists before
creating one with that id, we just check if is in the map
