But what about the memory overhead of an empty hashtable? Linked lists
can be better, for small numbers of objects...
There is a nice solution to this problem that uses C++. By using an
abstract object container class (one which defines the interface with
the rest of the code), we can change from linked-list storage to
hashtable storage to any other kind of storage without having to change
the outside code.
This way, if a linked-list container gets too full (more than X
objects), it will automagically transfer its contents to a hashtable
container-- and back, if the objects go away.
HOWEVER, I don't know if this will work with Java... (which is what he
said he wrote it in?)
