Don't know. > Do you run any i386? Now I run FreeBSD 11/i386 as my home router with IPSEC and torrent client, and I run several virtualized routers with IPSEC tunnels, jabber and mail server, squid and ZFS for src/obj/ports compression and they all easily crash unless kern.kstack_pages raised upto 4. Same for some other my i386 installations having IPSEC tunnels. In times of 8.0-STABLE I realised than while it's definitley *possible* to run Firefox plus Thunderbird plus couple of small Virtualbox instances using i386, it is much more comfortable with amd64 and 8GB of RAM, so I migrated my desktop and workstation to 8.0-STABLE/amd64 and never looked back :-)
