It's gotten from "computer is unusable when Freenet is running" to "computer is barely usable when Freenet is running" (which absolutely *is* an improvement, btw). However, Freenet is still extremely IO-limited (to the point that I have to limit bandwidth to around 200-300 KB/s, or the node is backed off almost 100% of the time) - which is something I don't get, as torrent clients on ARM-based NAS boxes (arguably, about 10% of my desktop's computing power) have no issues with sustaining 4 MB/s 100 GB+ torrents for hours, and it's basically the same workload (small-block multithreaded random reads/writes), IO-wise. Regards, Victor Denisov. P.S. I knew I've seen this discussion before, and that I've made the same point about performance before, so this is what I've found - from 2.5 years https://emu.freenetproject.org/pipermail/devl/2013-July/037145.html. _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list [email protected] https://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
