Which version was it? 2.2.5 or 3.0 -based? This is significant (and it can be either way - 3.0 is bigger, but uses some special sysctls to better handle lack of swap)... BTW, if anyone has free programming power at hand :-) he could write 2-3 programs that replace netstat and systat - it's now easy in 3.0, using sysctl, just like 'vm' proggy in PicoBSD does... It's an easy thing (retrieve the structs and display them with appropriate printfs), so you can contribute to the project even if you're not so experienced a programmer...
