 * Each distinct Java object has an "object header", which is about 16 bytes and contains information
  such as a pointer to its class. For an object with very little data in it (say one `Int` field), this
  can be bigger than the data.

 * Java `String`s have about 40 bytes of overhead over the raw string data (since they store it in an

  easily consume 60 bytes.
 * Common collection classes, such as `HashMap` and `LinkedList`, use linked data structures, where
  there is a "wrapper" object for each entry (e.g. `Map.Entry`). This object not only has a header,
  but also pointers (typically 8 bytes each) to the next object in the list.
