I haven't seen any responses to your query via the list, so...
Given that I remember your described usage patterns, I seem to recall
seeing recommendations to use a smaller MAXUSERS value (say 128) and
directly modify the specific values which may need to be increased, such
as NMBCLUSTERS (hope I got that right...). I think it had to do with the
MAXUSERS calculation causing kernel memory usage to expand too much.
I also remember seeing a reference to Linux having a max of 1GB-64MB RAM,
but was reasonably sure FreeBSD's limit was 4GB-64MB (but to use this
much still required some recent bits from current).
You may want to try searching the lists for more info on MAXUSERS and
NMBCLUSTERS.
