Hi,

Shortly after making world, striping the kernel, upgrading apache,
and installing WebGUI on a couple of websites (WebGUI requires
mod_perl to preload Apache::Registry), I began to get these two
errors.

pmap_collect: collecting pv entries -- suggest increasing
PMAP_SHPGPERPROC microuptime() went backwards (613878.982533 ->
613874.389277)

This machine sees fairly heavy MySql use and moderate httpd load.
It has been faithfully doing its job for a couple of years now from
3.0 - 4.7-stable and has never given a problem.  I have read man
tuning, LINT, and searched the archives on these two errors and
really haven't come up with a lot of information.  The following
lines from lint are sketchy at best.

-------------------------
# If you're tweaking this, you might also want to increase the
sysctls # "vm.v_free_min", "vm.v_free_reserved", and "vm.v_free_target".
# # The value below is the one more than the default.  # options
PMAP_SHPGPERPROC=201
-------------------------

Could upping PMAP_SHPGPERPROC by 1 actually be that beneficial?
And, could removing apm from the kernel have caused the microuptime
problem?  I am pasting in dmesg system information for reference.
