Wow! I'd really like to know where *that* number came from. I could have
sworn it was 42.8% with another 44.3% going to turning-on divert for natd
usage. 8{) I like the idea of making a kernel work without rebuild for
most folks. What do other folks usually need to rebuild a kernel for?
(besides server tuning stuff like MAX_USERS, etc...)
FWIW: I'm for turning them both on, but 2 bpfs to save memory rather than
LINT's 4. You don't really take the CPU hit until you open them, anyway...
