Yes, I agree there's a long way to go performancewise before it hits the bigtime. All the more reason for folk to stick to the Web principle of URI-based naming without discrimination amongst URI schemes. The attraction of Freenet I guess is the (perhaps holy-grailish) notion of being able to pull out content using arbitrary-looking identifiers.
