After about two hours of hunting pecking and anything else I found where you control this in OSX 10.3
you must edit the /etc/rc file. /System/Library/StartupItems/SystemTuning/SystemTuning does nothing.... now.. 7.4 RC2 make check only fails on the geometry test.... type_sanity ... ok opr_sanity ... ok test geometry ... FAILED test horology ... ok test insert ... ok test create_function_1 ... ok test create_type ... ok I hope if someone searches on OSX (OS X) SystemTuning they find this.... edit rc... on about the second page you will find the settings. This is what I have and it is working... I don't know if it is optimal..
