I have a FreeBSD 8.2-REALEASE-p5 system that is running as a Squid proxy server, after some complaints for internet performance I logged into the system to take a look, and discovered the flowcleaner process is consuming 100% on one CPU. I did some searching, and have discovered that there have been some bugs in the past with this, and found the flowing command listed as a work around.

sysctl net.inet.flowtable.enable=0

I tried this, but there was no change, is this something that has to be done in the sysctl.conf configuration file that doesn't take effect until a reboot? Or is there a process I can restart that will at least temporarily resolve this issue without completely interrupting internet traffic for a few hundred users?
