With my testing last night, 350 clients each writing used ~700M of cache
(with was the data being writen) and only ~100M of active memory.  There
was only a nominal amount swapped (probably getty and friends), so the
number of shared pages is actually quite high with ~2.1M of resident mem
showing for each process.  If it were otherwise I would have quickly
burned the 1G in the test server.

The only thing I managed to exhaust was mbuf clusters, and that was on
the clients first and finally on the server after a bit.


Thanks to everybody for their input and suggestions, and I'll let you
know how it works in the "wild" :).
