In addition to the mentioned changes, you may wish to adjust your
'maxusers' value in your kernel config.  I bumped it to 64 (2 x 32MB RAM)
just for kicks, even though this is a personal workstation :)  

I guess 'maxusers' is a master switch for increasing buffers and whatnot
throughout the system.
