Before I make these changes, I would like to just get a second opinion from the list about their value and what impact, if any, they might have on system stability, compatibility, etc. Wouter, please do not take offense to this! I sincerely appreciate your advice, but this is a production system, so I'm careful about what changes I make when I don't explicitly understand what is going on. I'm not familure with a few of those options. I also noticed that that you used the old (traditional) way of recompiling the kernel. Is that necessary or can I use the newer `make buildkernel KERNCONF=x && make installkernel KERNCONF=x'. I'm simply more comfortable with that way...
