Aha, that seems to be it; I had slapped that into my rc.local with
some other sysctl's (before I found out about /etc/sysctl.conf), and that
one is read-only by that stage of loading. Had to be in /boot/loader.conf
to 'take'.

Seems to be chugging away nicely now:
738590720/2937458688 (25.1%) @3.9x, remaining 7:23
757071872/2937458688 (25.8%) @3.9x, remaining 7:17
775520256/2937458688 (26.4%) @3.9x, remaining 7:12
So I imagine I'm good to go :) This ought to me nightly automated
backups a snap!
Thanks Chuck, Greg and others who emailed me diretly.
