Hello.

I know I'm coming up with a lot of questions these days... :)

Any doc on this sysctl?

I think I get the overall picture on what it does, but I'd like to 
understand whether there are donwsides on enabling this.
Like... system running slower or consuming more RAM... incompatible 
ports or drivers... etc.

Any reason not to enable it?



I searched the web, but didn't find anything official.

  bye & Thanks
	av.
