Don't use LinkedList. Multiple benchmarks down the years have shown it is almost always worse than ArrayList.

and the elements are ordered by their timestamps. Every now and then I would "expunge" the list, that is to say, iterating through the list and when an element is old enough all elements after (and including) it will be removed. Currently I'm removing them one by one.

Is there a way to truncate the list using a single method? Thanks Max
