I'd go with something relatively simple. How many threads seems to work with 128MB available? 256MB? do a linear interpolation. It seems reasonable to assume there is a base + per-thread memory usage. Another option would be to query the JVM for available memory at regular intervals, and use that as part of the load calculation. If memory gets too tight, start decreasing the max threads parameter. Of course, I don't know much about the freenet code and how easy that would be. My experience with other code is that OOMs are remarkably hard to recover from, and so need to be avoided in advance.
