Sorry. Being online for about 12 hours freenet again succeeded in
overloading an acceptable machine (1.5GHz, 512MB Ram), leaving it
doing nothing but swapping RAM.

I think it's time to take a break. Perhaps I'll check back in a year ;-)

I'm still of the opinion that freenet will only spread if people are
able to run it on a small router or in background with no noticeable
impact on performance.

If I had a second life I would help redoing the whole thing in ocaml or
something like that. But I have the miserable feeling that studying
medicine will keep me busy for the next years. :-( Ok, no more flame
wars ;-)

Max

[freenet-support] Way to much RAM! Build 5064

2004-01-28 Thread Maximilian Mehnert
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.

Regards,

Max

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 ;-)

Max
