That's very helpful! I had read about that and wondered if it applied to i386.

Should I have expected "superpages" to completely cure the condition... or does it just help? Should I now be looking at tuning the related pmap sysctls to give further relief?

Thanks!

Charles

    The warning is not applicable any longer including your version as
    well as
    several previous ones.  The warning has been removed from current
    releases.


For amd64, yes, but not i386.  It can't be removed from i386.
