list.get(0) and list.get(list.size() - 1) should not give you
any considerable performance penalty. I don't know how it is
implemented but I where to implement a get() method for a doubly
linked list I'd find out whether the index is closer to the
beginning of the list or closer to its end and start traversing
the list from there. Thus list.get(0) and list.get(list.size() -
1) should perform well.
