Try reducing maxusers to 128.  If you have mbuf problems, override 
    NMBCLUSTERS ( making it 4096 or 8192 should be sufficient ).  Sometimes
    network mbuf problems on heavily loaded machines are due to too-large
    default buffer sizes - if net.inet.tcp.sendspace or recvspace is greater
    then 16384, try reducing it to 16384.

    If your machine is not using that > 2GB of swap, cap the swap at 1.9GB.

:I've had it at MAXUSERS=256 on both the P5 and the P6.  The P5 stays
:stable, the P6 doesn't.  If I reduce MAXUSERS to 128 then these
:heavily loaded boxen will fall over due to out of MBUFs errors, or
:so I believe.

:I'd love to find some real kernel-tuning documentation out there,
:one of my panics is a "pipeinit:  cannot allocate pipe -- out of kvm"
:and I can't pull a crashdump due to a DSCHECK error because my
:SWAP is > 2GB.
