Description
The ParNew and CMS collectors pad TaskQueues on allocation to prevent inadvertent sharing of cache lines.  This should be applied generally to popular TaskQueue instantiations such as TaskQueue<oop>, TaskQueue<StarTask>, etc., that are important to performance.

Comments
EVALUATION Yes. Doing so would add a small amount of space overhead, but prevent potentially expensive cache-line sharing on an intensively used data structure.
