I would love to see IPFS used in projects like Nix, but in the current state it's downright impossibile.

I have seen IPNS taking between 5-10 minutes to solve a single address and go-ipfs with a few pinned files taking more that 5GB of memory after running for a day.

Yeah, I don't understand the hype around IPFS when it performs so badly. After reporting the issue and having a conversation with the devs I had an impression that they are just dilettantes.

Experiencing this performance issue with ipns was a major turn off.
