Currently running Freenet/Tor/I2P on a VM (KVM) with 1.5GB RAM allocated it. according to htop, java (Freenet and I2P) is using 985MB. Tor is using approximately 40MB.

The day someone takes up a rewrite of Freenet in C/C++ is the day I send money to the project.

Freenet by nature is an insane resource hog, that doesn't make the JVM look any better.

That's largely because the JVM still uses tons of memory and takes forever to boot.

I really like when I goto download some new app and see that there is a simple executable .jar I can get. They are still bloated and slow though.. just so happens that we have workstations with i7s and 32GB of RAM.

We finally caught up to where Java is reasonable, yay!
