You might like to review the fairly complete discussion on -stable
about a week ago.  Basically, it's on by default and any new
directories you create on the FS will have the improved layout policy,
but to get maximum benefit you should newfs and restore (tar, cpio,
restore, whatever) your previous filesystem so the entire thing gets
laid out better.
