New Revision: 211031
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/211031

Log:
  To help with sequential read UFS performance on modern systems, increase
  the vfs.read_max default. For most systems this means going from 128 KiB
  to 256 KiB, which is still very conservative and lower than what most
  other operating systems use, but as a sane default should not
  interfere much with existing systems.
  
  For systems with RAID volumes and/or virtualization envirnments, where
  read performance is very important, increasing this sysctl tunable to 32
  or even more will demonstratively yield additional performance benefits.
  
  If MAXPHYS ever gets bumped up, it will probably be a good idea to slave
  read_max to it.
