Topic: 0.8.1 Bitcoind Server performance? (Read 770 times)
Well, its been running with that value changed all day. No noticeable side effects or unexpected bugs, and it seems to have a noticeable improvement in stability. Doesnt seem to crash quite as frequently, but still pretty sluggish. Im sure there is more that can be done still
what are the consequences from an application point of view if this parameter is changed? Any risks or sideeffects one should be aware of?
Hmm. Looks like by default its set to 100. I increased it to 10000, will see how it works over the next bit.
Currently running Bitcoind server on a VPS, running the latest version of Ubuntu (64-bt). It doesnt have very much ram, only 1.5 gigs, but its been holding up pretty decent. It receives anywhere from 3000-5000 + RPC requests a day. Can be a bit slugish at times, and every now and then it just crashes due to not enough memory. I have it set up to auto-restart on crashes, so not a big deal.
Anyways, Iv noticed that since upgrading from 0.7 to 0.8.1, its been a bit slower and crashing way more often. Instead of running out of RAM and dieing maybe a couple times a day, its happening regularly, like once every 30-60 minutes or so.
Anyone have any tips on how to improve performance, besides just upgrading the memory?

in main.h
change
static const unsigned int MAX_ORPHAN_TRANSACTIONS = MAX_BLOCK_SIZE/xxxxxx;
i don't remember what it defaults at, mine is set to 1 since i have lots of memory. so it has tens of thousands of orphan transactions. raise the # and you'll use less memory
