Freenet's performance sucks primarily because of implementation and architecture issues, NOT because of the language it's implemented in. If you think you can rewrite Freenet in 1000 lines of C++, and have it run 5x faster in 100kB of RAM, go right ahead! The basic problems here are NOT those of optimization, they are fundamental things such as how the network works. -- Matthew J Toseland - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Freenet Project Official Codemonkey - http://freenetproject.org/ ICTHUS - Nothing is impossible. Our Boss says so.
