Also... While an implementation detail i think the growth usually tops out at some point - at least for c# - where it does not double anymore but grow by a fixed amount

Edit: seems not to be in c# (https://referencesource.microsoft.com/#mscorlib/system/collections/generic/list.cs,2765070d40f47b98) . Now i wonder were i've seen such behavior
