kern.ipc.nmbclusters: 25600

I do not think I'm running out of mbufs.
And increasing nmbclusters doesn't help.

Here is what I have for kmem_size. How can I see how much of the kmem 
size is used ? vmstat -m :)

vm.kmem_size_scale: 3
vm.kmem_size_max: 335544320
vm.kmem_size_min: 0
vm.kmem_size: 335544320

Something suspicious that I notice is:
vmstat -m|grep devbuf
       devbuf  5214 42780K       -     6390  
16,32,64,128,256,512,1024,2048,4096

42MB memory allocated for devbuf ? Is this ok ?

This is the only thing that 'eat' more then 1-2MB memory reported by 
vmstat -m.
