All computers are running 5-Stable, as of May 10.
All, but PC1 with fxp, use polling, with:
 options DEVICE_POLLING
 options HZ=1000




1000 IMHO seems a bit too heavy. Try something
lower.



Same problem. Ssh-tunnel connection is also disrupted
with HZ=100. May I conclude that the HZ value is not
the culprit? Or should I try once again with HZ=10?


100 should be fine. 10 would be a bit too much overkill.

kern.ipc.nmbclusters is 4928 for this PC.
Is that good or bad?


What is the purpose of the box? Give a description of the network traffic.

"sysctl -a | grep -i polling" gives following:

Did you use any strange CFLAGS like -O3 or -f* compile time options when you built the system?
