Hmm. If you run a permanent node with default settings it should hover around 30s or 40s of connections.. but most of these will be idle at any given point. Frost is doing many simultaneous requests, most of which (because of the architecture of freenet) get routed to different nodes out of your routing table (which has 50). > > > > > Btw, are you running the node properly nice:d? > > The java is at place one consuming 9x% of cpu time when watched by top. > I haven't reniced it, because I think it consumes it's cpu time it > needs, so if fiddling with it, I would loose contact, right?
