2. I noticed other parameters for network tuning is
not-so-important in this time. Most problem comes with low
kern.ipc.nmbclusters -- I failed to set it over 65536.

3. Usually thttpd use mmap() for caching contents in memory. Our
   service file(only static files) varies from 10k ~
   300Mbytes. Sometimes thttpd denies request with 500 internal error,
   resetting mmap() buffers.

   I patched current unused sendfile() patch for thttpd, it works
   nicely, but in this case, thttpd process suffers "sfbufa" state,
   with all requests delayed or even disconnected(total traffic is <
   100Mbits then).

   So another problem comes with kern.ipc.nsfbufs -- I tried to
   increase arbitrary values but it also cause kernel panic.

Final: What is a good math for calculating these values safely?

  kern.ipc.nmbclusters
  kern.ipc.nsfbufs
