Well, on my Mac OS X 10.3.6 800Mhz iBook server with 640MB RAM, Apple's 1.4.1 JVM and 10GB Freenet store over a NAT AirPort Extreme fixed IP RCN cable connection, Freenet is OK a lot of the time. Loads up to a 100 connections are normal. Generally, I do restart Freenet and wait only a few minutes if I want maximum performance out of a surfing session, but I think that's perfectly fine for betaware.
Freenet 5100 seems a little better at things. I've been using Freenet for well over a year non-stop from my little iBook server. I also run three PHP/MySQL PostNuke sites from 4D's WebStar V and SMTP mail on that little guy too. Process viewer shows the CPU handling it fine most of the time. Only Java max's the CPU at Freenet startup. I think it's kind cool to see a little iBook talking to thousands of servers world wide all by itself. I think I'm going to write a children's book about my little iBook.
