“Qwerty Maniac”, one of our active Beta-Tester has posted on his blog a review of his first week with AllPeers as well as some screenshots.

Abstract:

AllPeers shocked me at first with a 3.56 MB ; I mean I haven’t installed an extension sized over 1 MB in my Firefox usage history. Whilst installing I prayed Firefox not crash on the restart. And surprisingly it didn’t and neither did the start up time reduce. I registered my BETA test with my activation code and was ready to go vroom. Wait there is more, Firefox though didn’t slow down, it sure took over 50 MB of RAM at startup itself, so the effect of the extension was showing.

  1. I should mention that, while I’m pretty happy with AllPeers footprint considering that our focus has been on infrastructure/features, not optimization, it is a goal for us to lower memory consumption, size of the download, etc.

  2. I can’t wait to try AllPeers out. Everyone is always upset at what a “memory hog” firefox is but memory is cheap and easy to get. The more memory you have the faster complex programs run.

    Then again, I have the utmost respect for utorrent… I’m downloading 12 things right now and memory usage is only 1.8 megs.

  3. Memory is not cheep, never was And mostlikely never will be. Remeber that most people Don’t ern much. Costs of living for most of the time surpass monthly ernings. Most people I know do not upgrade their machines, they bearly (with much struggling) buy new one (not top of the line at that), every 5-6 years. Please be more thoughtfull.
