Tried. Found at least one issue with sendfile blocking:
66193 nginx 1484152162.182601 CALL
openat(AT_FDCWD,0x80639aac4,0x4<O_NONBLOCK>,<unused>0)
66193 nginx 1484152162.182607 NAMI ...
66193 nginx 1484152162.182643 RET openat 40/0x28
... gz lookup and stats ...
66193 nginx 1484152162.182683 CALL
setsockopt(0x211,0x6,0x4,0x7fffffffd96c,0x4)
66193 nginx 1484152162.182687 RET setsockopt 0
66193 nginx 1484152162.182689 CALL
sendfile(0x28,0x211,0,0x806f,0x7fffffffe1d8,0x7fffffffe240,<invalid=0>)
66193 nginx 1484152163.541770 RET sendfile 0
Sendfile blocks for 1.3 seconds. However, it's:
$ sysctl hw.model hw.machine hw.ncpu
hw.model: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5620 @ 2.40GHz
hw.machine: amd64
hw.ncpu: 16
So sfbufs don't apply here, but documentation doesn't tell what resource
applies... or I couldn't find correct doc.

This I figured from reading nginx source code.
