Description

Taking part on the DHT will cause much more open connections and a lot of database writes/reads. If we switch to dhtclient we can automatically reduce the memory consumption like on systems with lower than 4 GB of memory.

This avoids that systems with low amounts of memory take part in the DHT slowing down responses.

This should be announced by a message on daemon-start, to notify the user that the config was overruled.
