Fantastic, this seems to have not hurt any ;)

Thanks for the info. New P3 natd now up and running.

It may be worth mentioning that if you're the kind of person who patches 
fbsd fairly regularly, and rebuilds world when that happens, starting 
off with a 'make clean' in /usr/src/sbin/natd' may be called for.

As for the other optimisations, I'm not a rabid OS ricer so I don't know 
if spending hours for that last 1% performance increase is really worth 
my while. A little streamlining goes a long way.

Again, thanks for the info on natd.
