Hello everyone.
I started a node on a machine with lots of bandwidth and a very lousy I/O subsystem. Not much else is going on on the machine, so without freenet the load is steadily between 0.01 and 0.10. When freenet runs, the load is constantly around 3.50, with peaks reaching well above 5.00. The system latency caused by these loads gets other stuff to malfunction; for instance, mail server queries to LDAP time out and result in "service temporarily unavailable" errors. Obviously, such things become a show stopper for freenet.
The machine is a Celeron 2.4 GHz with 512 MB RAM running RHEL3 with Sun java 1.4.2_05.
I reduced maxNodeConnections to 85 from the default 200 in the hope to reduce the number of java instances, but that didn't help much. I also set diagnosticsPath=/dev/null to stop the constant writing on disk (is there a better way to say "disable stats, I don't need them"?) and that didn't help much either.
So I'm asking for advice from those more experienced with freenet: what can I do to reduce the load? More specifically, how can I reduce the number of java instances running? With my current settings (most else at default), I have 96 java processes eating away everything on the machine and the machine itself too.
