[freenet-support] Way to much RAM! Build 5064
Yesterday I decided to test freenet again after a long time of resignation. I downloaded and updated to the latest stable. It even seemed to work well. I was so enthusiastic, I even planned to set up a permanent node though performance was terrible even after two or three hours on a broadband connection. So I decided to let it run the whole day, assuming that the situation would improve. Logging in in the evening via ssh was nearly impossible. More than 400MB of RAM was claimed by java-threads at this time. Freenet is one of the most beautiful ideas I ever hit on. But it should be possible to run it on a small pentium machine with no more than 100MB of RAM. How shall freenet ever become popular if one needs to donate a high performance machine to the sole task of running freenet? From this point of view and IMHO ressource consumption is by far the biggest bug freenet has at the moment.

It's a P3 600mhz with 192 megs of RAM. Both stable and unstable will max out its CPU most of the time. I suspect that the core issue is RAM, but I don't know for sure. I've repeatedly seen old machines like my P3-600 disregarded as irrelevant, and not worth optimizing for, in terms of the Freenet network. I hesitate to call this particular box old. I have an IBM Aptiva, with a whopping Pentium 75, 40 megs of RAM, running FreeBSD, acting as the gatekeeper for my LAN. It pushes a few gigs worth of data each day, ipfw filtering included, with a load of 0.01 most of the time, and doesn't complain! Now that's what I call old, but the damn thing keeps on rolling. Yet I continue to devote the P3 to doing nothing but running a Freenet node, and I will keep doing so for the forseeable future. To me, it's worth it. There have been some significant improvements over the past few months, and I don't doubt that the improvements will continue. You didn't elaborate about how long you'd been away from Freenet, but within the past 6 months, there have been ups and downs. Recently there have been several ups, especially multiplexing. Having 400MB of RAM used by the node's java processes seems out of whack. In fact that sounds insane. Which threadFactory is your configuration file set to use? If you set it to use the YThreadFactory, do things improve? If you can, please keep running your node! -s ___ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[freenet-support] Help!!!
"Basicly this network here is screwed up!" O, so you are using Freenet already? ;-) Basically, the stable build is currently really shitty. I suggest you install the unstable build. (6452 it is currently, I believe). Also,keep in mind that even unstable is beta (duh), and it needs a few days to specialise anyhow. ___ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Having 400MB of RAM used by the node's java processes seems out of whack. In fact that sounds insane. Which threadFactory is your configuration file set to use? If you set it to use the YThreadFactory, do things improve? At the moment it looks ok. I upgraded to 5065 and I'm using YThreadFactory. Freenet is running an hour or so, using about 100MB of RAM. Grokking the freenet.conf again I even noticed several options to tweak the number of running threads. Perhaps I'll try this. If memory usage keeps being stable I think I'll even get a memory upgrade for my PII-Router at home ;-) Regards, Max -- Maximilian Mehnert [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
