Squid kern.ipc.nmbclusters=32768 - seemed to be large improvement here
-
Just wanted to mention that this in the /boot/loader.conf:
kern.ipc.nmbclusters=32768
….as suggested by other threads in this forum seemed to be a night and day difference for me.
Just curious if others are using this as well - it's a quick thing to try.
Not sure how to quantify it, but it certainly seems a lot faster.

My experience has been that commenting the whole line out gives the best performance…
#kern.ipc.nmbclusters="0" -

#kern.ipc.nmbclusters="0"Wonder what value will be used if its commented out. Anyone have any clue what this configuration affects?
I am using the config that was given awhile ago for improving squid performance. In /boot/loader.conf:
autoboot_delay="1"
vm.kmem_size="435544320"
vm.kmem_size_max="535544320"
#kern.ipc.nmbclusters="0"
kern.hz=100
#for squid
kern.ipc.nmbclusters="32768"
kern.maxfiles="65536"
kern.maxfilesperproc="32768"
net.inet.ip.portrange.last="65535" -
freebsd default is 8192, but pfsense default is 0
if you comment that and reboot.sysctl kern.ipc.nmbclustersThat will show your current value which is default unless its being specified in /etc/sysctl.conf
performance also increase if set in /etc/sysctl.conf according to http://fasterdata.es.net/TCP-tuning/FreeBSD.html
