How fast? *IF* the program stops using the cpu, which can take entire minutes, it does eventually go down. But while freenet is pegging the cpu, it's hanging between load average 8 to 12.
A week ago when freenet would peg the cpu, the worst I'd see it get to is around load average 5 - I haven't changed anything recently. (Note: Freenet no matter what it's doing always pegs the cpu when it's in use, however usually for a short time. This is normal on my machine. What isn't, is the load average going whacko because freenet is *continuing* to peg the cpu, and for long amounts of time - instead of seconds, it takes sometimes minutes for the cpu to get a period where freenet is idle.) > > > > I'm running debian unstable (kernel 2.4.19) with sun's j2re1.4.1_01 and > > freenet 535.

I seriously wouldn't mind if this WAS normal behavior and the previous build or two were malfunctioning... but I doubt that's the case. > > Another thing.
