I agree Ancestry is really good.  However when I tried to run the convert-parent-ids-to-ancestry-path-strings on my tree of ~773k nodes, it took ages and after an hour I gave up and killed the process.

Maybe at a later date I'll need some of the scopes Ancestry provides, but until then I'm fine just walking up and down the tree using `belongs_to :parent` and `has_many :children`.

Cheers,
Andy
