Re: Kudos on memory usage in 0.2.X

[slush <slush@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Roger,

Im in same situation as Matt. Im running Tor exit on VPS, version 0.2.0.x. So each MB of memory is quite bit expensive for me :). Do you personally think that running 0.2.1.x (so experimental branch, but less memory usage) on production machine is a good idea? Stability is the main issue, but I have overall good experience with Tor (except issue with certificates ;).

Thanks,
Marek

It sure did. Mainly on Linux.

Great. Glad you like it.

And if you like 0.2.0.x's memory usage, you'll like 0.2.1.x's even more! :)
