FreeBSD adapts to the user load much better than earlier versions of
UNIX did, so there's not much call for the kind of optimization that I
suspect you're talking about.  In general, unless you have performance
problems, you don't need to do much.  If you do have problems, you
need to address them individually.  On this list, this means you need
to tell us what the problems are.
