Ok, understood - that answers my question and the one I just posted.

So ... in 4.4 KVA space was, by default ... I forget ?  So I guess my
question has now morphed into:

- if the machine is doing nothing but firewalling (so there are no other
demands on KVM/KVA) how high can you set NMBCLUSTERS to before you start
to get close to the default KVA in fbsd 4.4 ?

(actually I think the default is the same in all 4.x, just the method of
changing it is different)

comments ?  thanks!
