Well, after watching my node for a while, I can
report with some confidence that the latest stable build of freenet is
performing much better. My node has been running almost 24 hours and it's
not stuck at 100% cpu constantly, although the general trend is for cpu usage to
slowly increase. I have seen this kind of behaviour in other complex java
apps that run for long periods of time, so it may be a jvm issue. Even
better though is the lack of dead connections. For as long as I can
recall, my firewall would report more and more dead connections (connections
lasting more than 8 hours with little data sent) the longer the node ran.
restarting my node would clear these connections out. It's good to see
that this bug has been resolved. I recommend to everyone to update to the
latest stable snapshot! I'm looking forward to further improvments in
performance so I can handle more traffic. Kudos to the development
team!
