Not that it matters, but the use of Java ensures that I (and many others, I'm sure) will never use this software. Java is basically unsuitable for desktop software. It's incredibly slow and bloated. I can't afford to give hundreds of megs of RAM to an app for syncing files on all of my systems. And the startup time for the VM is crazy. Dropbox is not Free Software but it's mostly efficient and lightweight.
Everyone wants a Free Software Dropbox clone, but it seems like the most promising projects are all using things like Mono and Java. I don't get it. I wish someone talented and practical like Linus would just sit down and write one in C (or even Python) and be done with it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Syncany Team, which is subscribed to Syncany. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/889084 Title: Java memory usage Status in Syncany: Confirmed Bug description: Just running deamon, java process use lot of memory (near to 1Go!)
