I'm not sure. It depends on various factors. For example, which branch you are running. > I'm getting lots of > pages taking forever to load (or never loading), On stable? How many live connections?

We have had reports of reasonable performance on that class of hardware. OTOH, it's not a big priority at the moment. "First make it work. Then make it work fast.". Most machines running Freenet are probably 5 times faster than the above hardware... > > I was planning to make a permanent node, but I don't run it much > anymore, because my brother games (so he needs high bandwidth and low > latency), and Freenet is still the most costly service I run on that > thing (in terms of CPU, bandwidth, etc.) I don't think Freenet's bandwidth limiting is unobtrusive enough for gaming. Having said that, a gamer will tell you that ANYTHING else running on the connection will increase his ping.

Java is a reasonable OO-procedural language which has a number of eccentricities. Most of those will be rectified when GCJ works. If we had used C++, we'd have spent a year arguing over whether to include a garbage collector. If we had used Ocaml, we'd have had even fewer coders than we have now.
