Thanks for the info kgb2mining.

It looks like the java version is using about 70 MB of RAM and 0.2% CPU. Since I already have the startup scripts, and upgrading is so simple, I think I'll just keep running the java version. It gives me some flexibility when it comes to upgrading (like, I can just upgrade the RelayNodeClient without restarting p2pool).

Interesting about your p2pool peer experimentation. Would you mind sharing your peer list? Has anyone found that there is an optimal number of peers? Several of these peers are gone now, but here's my list:
