New test release
Please test, especially if you have a smaller memory configuration. Very small memory configurations won't work with this, but if you have something that has been barely able to run the deemon previously, this should improve your performance quite a bit.
Report any issues (or even if no issues)
Thanks for testing!
I have tested it today on my desktop Kubuntu 14.04 with 4 GB RAM.
"Official" binary
https://github.com/aeonix/aeon/releases/download/v0.9.1.1/aeon-0-9-1-1-linux64-tar.gz does not run at all (reports some error).
Version compiled from
https://github.com/aeonix/aeon/archive/v0.9.1.1.tar.gz runs with the memory usage as follows (according to htop):
VIRT: 6158 MB RES: 2286 MB
Version compiled from git clone
https://github.com/iamsmooth/aeon bcmreduce runs with the memory usage as follows:
VIRT: 5640 MB RES: 3055 MB
Conversion of the blockain took quite a long time, but no problem occured.
Good luck!
