Hello,

Don't know what version will it be applicable to now, either it is 
2.1.7 or 2.2, but since FreeBSD is known to be more like server-used
OS, than user worskstations, here're suggestions to redifine defaults:

There's really need to set FDSETSIZE (/sys/sys/types.h, afair) default
to something like 1024, - then you don't need to recompile kernel as
soon as you start news server and/or ftp/www, like, loaded one. Example:
you won't get any improvements rearranging MAXOPEN value, before you
rearrange FDSETSIZE.

Another idea is to enlarge default for SOMAXCONN (/sys/socket.h).
When you have something running  for it to be available to have more
open passive tcp connections sumaltaneously. Example is Squid proxy cache{d}
which uses this include in the listen().

Comments are definetely appreciated.

Thanks,
