This is great work!

Does anybody know how far back in FreeBSD versions using posix semaphore 
instead of sysv would make a difference?  It seems we need a rather current 
version? 8.x did not support it at all, at some point at lest, and in 9 it was 
buggy. I could add he patch-2 to the port, but I reckon it needs a conditional 
based on FreeBSD version?

The clang bug should go upstreams, right?

I have seen similar curves, presented by Greg Smith (PostgreSQL hacker) where 
he concluded that there is no point in running more than 50 concurrent 
connections. This was for Linux. In your measures, the knee is at 30. That's 
said, FreeBSD could and should do better, but probably there is a limit where 
there will be a knee in the graph and performance will drop. It should be more 
than 30, though, as you rightly commented.

Do you any ideas to pursue this further apart from complicated rewrites like 
DragonFly?
