Description

@trustin has done some interesting work in netty/netty#2529 (although we’ll want to keep the Unsafe bits).

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the referenced Netty PR (netty/netty#2529) to understand the MPSC queue improvements, then identify how to apply similar changes in Akka's queue implementations while preserving Unsafe usage.
