[freenet-support] Freenet performance

[Robert Carroll]

I think alot of problems with freenet are performance related.  The network as a whole would benefit from faster freenet code.  Perhaps the developers should consider converting some java methods into native methods.  Given the 90/10 rule, a small number of converted methods could yield a huge performance increase.  I'm not suggesting that java support should be dropped, but this effort would be paralell to the main java codebase.  Unsupported platforms could still use the java methods.  This probably wouldn't be a big deal to transients (directly anyway), but it would be a HUGE benefit to the permanent nodes which are the backbone of freenet.
