Our original assumption was that doing Freenet entirely with threads

If it is true, there are a few new continuations libraries around
that I want to take note of:

We cannot depend on a non-standard JVM.

The VM runs in Java.

And according to the Aug 31
update it has some serious issues!

Those issues only apply to the high-level code that is being interpreted by the meta-vm.

Excellent!! This is the preferred solution.

We may however want to defer using continuations to 0.8 or even 0.9; it depends whether we have practical performance problems. Certainly I have
seen OOM: cannot create thread, although I have no idea why; after a
dump later on there were very few threads running.

We should only do this if we see that we have to due to performance issues.
