I have a few debugging settings/suggestions that have been sent my way and I 
plan to try them tonight, but this is just another report..

FreeBSD only environment.
Today after hours going crazy with horrible performance I brought down nfsd 
and brought it back up.. that simple process got vmstat 'b' column down and 
everything was back to normal.

Again this will not help anyone troubleshoot, but just to mention that it 
happens even with a FreeBSD only environment.
