It maintains doubly linked list through the Map.Entry objects. Additional
memory will be used to keep two(?) additional references per entry. The cost
in terms of asymptotic behavior is the same. However, iteration is faster
because it depends on the size whereas with HashMap, iteration is
proportional to it's capacity.

In practice, it is almost as fast and should not be a problem.
