You have some really WEIRD notions of what constitutes a "slower
machine".  If your node only takes 20 seconds to start up, you've
got a pretty fast machine, or a very small data store.

These are good suggestions.  But the problem is that the freenet.log
never actually says WHEN the node is ready.  It says "Starting
interfaces" but even then the interfaces aren't actually startED.
They're just startING.  The node would have to say "All interfaces
are now started.  Node is ready." or something similar in order for
this to be really useful.  And I'm not even sure that's possible
(you'd have to ask someone who speaks Java).

In my experience, I'll often get "connection refused" on port 8888
for several seconds after "Starting interfaces" appears in the log.
It can be very frustrating.
