Regarding the size in memory for the
List<long> ListOfLongs;
long[] ArrayOfLongs;
If each has N elements, how much memory they eat up?
I am asking that because as of my knowledge, .NET has not template (generics) specialization.
Practically the same amount of memory (technically, the
Listwill probably consume some more because it has over-allocated so that it can grow more easily).Generic collections in .NET do not need to box the items they hold, which would be a massive memory and performance sink.
