Remember those people who installed win95 on their win3.1 machines and complained it was slow ? Same problem, same cause.

Since i updated to 1.0-BETA2, i 've been using the bandwidth queues also(altq). Of course i don't run any other fancy services like squid or whatever. yes it works great. it runs perfectly as a router of 1 100mbit networks and 1 gigabit and also wireless network with captive portal, very stable indeed, and on just 64mb of ram.

Not very much ram in this day and age. It was never intended to run "well" on 64 megs. pfSense’s suggested minimum memory is 128 megs. Not very much ram in this day and age.

Device has 64 MB of RAM, starting up new applications takes a long time and the OOM killer gets activated at around 4 applications running. pfSense’s memory usage sounds as bad as Nokia 770′s “Internet Tablet 2005 Software Edition” (sic) Linux distribution.
