I think you mention that this machine has 2 drives - if so, it might be
worth the pain to rearrange your partitioning so that the swap is spread
equally over both drives, as I understand that FreeBSD interleaves access
to swap (probably works better with SCSI than IDE though...).
You mention that your current kernel is ~1.5M - just for reference I have
a 2.2.6R server (486) with a ~1.15M kernel (2.2.6R GENERIC is ~1.5M) and a
3.2R SMP workstation (C300Ax2) with a ~1.75M kernel (3.2R GENERIC is
~2.3M). Both boxes have a trimmed config, though the 3.2 box has sound and
a couple of other "extras".
