In section 2.2.3, /etc/sysctl.conf:
To our experience, it also helps to tune inode cache behavior by setting:

vfs.vmiodirenable="0";  (maybe)
vfs.nameileafonly="-1"

On a server with large memory, if apache 1.x is tested, maybe it is also necessary
to increase:

vm.max_proc_mmap

In section 2.2.4, /boot/loader.conf:
Do you need to increase "net.inet.tcp.tcbhashsize" ?
