There is nothing that can be done within the 6.x branch. 7.x contains

7-STABLE (or soon to be released 7.1; you might need tuning with
7.0-RELEASE) or try 8-CURRENT (it's quite stable).

Really?  Nothing?

We get lockmgr-related panics on FreeBSD 7.0, as detailed elsewhere on this list.

Stability issues aside, what else would we need to tune on 7.0, besides enabling the ULE scheduler, and how much benefit would we really get?

These servers are in production, so 8-CURRENT is not an option. I've already had my knuckles rapped by a customer for trying 7.1-PRERELEASE on one of their machines.

Thanks,
Jeff
