You can, obviously you may miss out on a share during the restart. Your bitcoin peer connections will be lost, but p2pool peers will stay, here is what to expect:

p2pool will throw the following error while it can not reach Bitcoind

Code:

Failure: twisted.internet.error.ConnectionRefusedError: Connection was refused by other side: 61: Connection refused.

If the bitcoin restart takes more then a minute this message displays in the log and front end:

Code:

> ########################################
> Warning: LOST CONTACT WITH BITCOIND for 1.0 minutes! Check that it isn't frozen or dead!
> ########################################

ok and thanks for the reply, so if I understand it, restart your bitcoin wallet does not create any problem (apart from losing a share if it happens at the time of the reboot)

Thanks in advance Erik

Laptop?

I would guess your issue is with the hard drive - although it's 7200RPM, it is only a single drive. You might be better served by replacing it with an SSD, since the local blockchain transactions are disk intensive.

Also, what O/S? If it's Windows you also might benefit from more than 4GB RAM as well.

CPU should be plenty tho.

is an experimental configuration to see if it works, surely if all goes well I will invest some money in a faster computer.

The HD is 7200rpm, but I'm going to replace it with a ssd

Operating system is openSUSE linux, cpu utilization varies between 20% and 70%, I have 4 gb of ram in total and by now they are only used 2.6
