I also think ArrayList is a better choice than a SinglyLinkedList, e.g.,

Given an underlying ArrayList, I wonder where the memory/performance sweet
spot is for the initialCapacity setting?

For example, if JDOM used an initialCapacity of 5 instead of 10 (the
default), would most Documents use a lot less memory with only a little loss
in performance?
