Performance is bad for large memory requirements period.=20

Vnodes and mbufs on a machine with 24gb ram is limited to the same amount as=
 a machine with less than 4GB ram.=20

This was fixed in head but not merged back in time.=20

This results in poor out of the box performance on 10gige and servers with h=
igh vnode requirements. =20
