Freenet keys are either CHK, SSK, KSK or USK. There is more info on the wiki.
You'll find that all the default bookmark pages are USKs, and if you use the
search function it links to all kinds of keys. There have been several
generations of such keys. Freenet 0.5 had such keys; early versions of 0.7 had
a different set of keys also due to a crypto bug.

It is possible, but IMHO it is inadvisable. A good way to get uninstalled is to
slow down a user's computer games etc. There are times when Freenet will use
quite a bit of CPU. The threads which do this are supposed to run at a lower
priority, but I think that on windows this is within the same *priority class*,
so it would still be higher than most other apps if we set it to above normal.
Also, if freenet has bugs, is on the edge of what it can do memory limit wise
etc, it can end up using a lot of cpu due to running out of memory - which is
not on a niced thread.

Great.
