I did some profiling on -CURRENT from a few days back, and I think I haven�t
figured the new tunables out or the code is not doing what it�s supposed to
or I�m 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"?
