I just jumped on this thread, but I think this might help: In "the Complete freebsd v. 2", it states that the maximum number of processes is set to 20+ 16*Maxusers where "maxusers" is set in the kernel. Everyone I've talked to has always suggested to take your "real" number of maxusers and bad it a good bit, to make sure you don't have to "suddenly" take down the system and rebuild / reinstall the kernel with a new maxusers value. The only thing I can recall being warned about was to make certain that the max processes you end up running can actually be handled by your hardware (I have NO idea how to make a TRUE evaluation of that though...)
