Could you please clarify further? I mean does it involve a object size
>> >>> on the JVM.

You can count the size of objects in memory. Check the first link:

http://www.javaworld.com/article/2077408/core-java/sizeof-for-java.html

You can also just ask the Java VM via remote management how much heap is
being used.
http://wiki.genexus.com/commwiki/servlet/wiki?6340,Monitoring+Memory+Management+with+JMX

As the article points out the calculation is not as simple as c++ sizeof,
because the VM is always doing things there is overhead etc.

I have taken my laptop and instantiated a linked list. I added objects to a
LinkedList until the system ran out of memory. In other words construct
1000000 objects sample, construct 2000000 objects sample. You can
approximate the answer.

I dont want to name names and get people upset that I am saying Java is
better than $there_fav_language_x , But  interpreted languages that store
objects as maps internally suffer in this regard.

JIT optimizes method and code branches based on heuristics. The class
definitions and size of an instance in memory are fixed and I do not
believe JIT optimizes them in any way.
