@clebertsuconic In the meantime I've done some experiments with [Java
Object Layout](http://openjdk.java.net/projects/code-tools/jol/), a tool that
compute the deep size of any instance on the heap, to evaluate the difference
(memory wise) between `LinkedListImpl` and `ChunkedQueue`.
I've used a very small chunk size of 32 (ie with arrays of 33 elements for
each chunk), to compare with `LinkedListImpl`.
With no instances:

Totals are pretty explicative, the `ChunkedQueue` (even with very small
chunk size) tends to have a 10X smaller memory footprint than a
`LinkedListImpl`.
