There isn't any magic configuration option that I can make for "big # systems", because there are many factors to consider and the system simply # has to be tuned to the specific work load.

There was a 2.1.0 when we used to have the same squid with approximately the same quantity of clients and there was working dealloc methodic which was gone in 2.2.x and, of course, 3.0. It now looks like there's still problems with mbuf allocation/leeks and so on (see PR's) and the OS will not work when it is supposed to be 'a big system' out of the box. Can I read the answer as "FreeBSD is not supposed to be working as huge networking servers out of the box"? # David Greenman -- -mishania, who's not trying to be aggressive or something, just very puzzled.
