I did some profiling on -CURRENT from a few days back, and I think I havenīt
figured the new tunables out or the code is not doing what itīs supposed to
or Iīm asking more than it is supposed to do but it seems that mb_free
is being quite wasteful...
Any pointers to how the new high/low watermark tunables should be used?
Is it normal that after almost all traffic has been stopped there is still 8k+
mbufs in "cache"?
