Or, more likely, throw freenet out the window :|. > Seriously, EVERY time I have investigated these sorts of issues the > answer has been either that it is showing constant Full GC's because > it has slightly too little memory, or that there is external CPU > load.

My node crashed/restarted again due to MessageCore/PacketSender freezing for 3 minutes. The problem appears to be with cpu usage, since my memory usage is basically plateauing when the crash occurs, though I suppose the two factors may not be necessarily entirely unrelated. My cpu load (ie. as reported by uptime) would sometimes rise pretty dramatically, with a 15-min load number hovering between 3 and 4, which brings my system to a crawl, and I guess this eventually "freezes" some threads in freenet, and then triggers the shutdown. In other words, it's still pretty unusable for my "obsolete" 1GHz with 200MB ram. I would really, seriously, encourage testing, if not actual development, on older hardware (or through some kind of emulation layer). It really should be capable of running on a 486!--even if the performance might not be as great, it should at least be functional and stable!--ie. able to throttle it's cpu/memory usage accordingly. :|.
