Source (3.4-STABLE): HASHINFO openinfo = { 4096, /* bsize */ 32, /* ffactor */ 256, /* nelem */ 2048 * 1024, /* cachesize */ NULL, /* hash() */ 0 /* lorder */ }; Is it a matter of just increasing the cache size to, say, 4096 * 2048, leaving the other values as they are, or should all values be increased in conjunction? -- - Ben C.
