You will want to increase your maximum process size... #options "MAXDSIZ=(256UL*1024*1024)" options "MAXDSIZ=268435456UL" #options "DFLDSIZ=(192UL*1024*1024)" options "DFLDSIZ=201326592UL" You probably want to raise DK_NDRIVE and a few other "less important but mildly annoying" parameters as well, such as MSG_BSIZE. I usually stick sysctl -w kern.update=300 > /dev/null in /etc/rc.local. Much of the rest should be obvious. ... JG
