On the Roads with Dave – One Year in the World of the Autonomous Internet

Day 54-Day 63

The team has indicated that it is still not recommended to upload data, as only 15% of the nodes have updated to the new version. However, I still decided to test the new version of Dave, since it appears to perform better in Quote Gathering. Below is a comparison of the upload speeds for versions 0.3.9, 0.4, and 0.4.1:

  • Only one case saw a slowdown: King James Bible (~25% slower).
  • Between 0.4.0 and 0.4.1, the speed improvements are very consistent: 46–51% faster across all tests.
