To emphasize this: if you are using 4K pages, you will need:

	4K/1M * 64G = 256M

...1/4 of 1G of memory outside the window, just for page tables.

Also, if we still were using an mbuf per connection for the
template, for 1,000,000 connections, that's 256M of RAM -- another
1/4 gig.


Yeah, most people don't think in these terms; personally, I like
to call it "Extreme BSD".  8-).
