[erlang-questions] how are implemented lists?

[Benoit Chesneau]

Richard,

Indeed; sorry for that: So indeed that is this kind of data structure that
I would like to have. Was thinking to use a skip-list data-structure as a
nif but that may be overkill..

Thinking more about it using a process for it may be more efficient than
using an ETS. Especially that I need to be handle many "queue". As I
understand using many ETS tables i not really advised, and I'm worried
about the performance if I start to store multiple queues per ETS table.
