I have a review up to bump the default to 32 and the maximum to 128:

Those are the best kinds of problems to have, although we ought to
make sure this point is covered in the FreeBSD profiling documentation
that we have or create.

Also, do you think that we should bump the compiled-in default up to 32?

It seems your message ended up with some unfortunate line wrapping,
which made it a little hard to see at a glance what the results were.
Scott sent me them reformatted as:

  BSD LINUX
time mysql rt3 all.out (full import)  106m123m
first full content search 35.92   45.29
Second content search after first full content
  search  24.66   26.14
Subject search0.480.35
4 different select scripts run at the same time
  on different tables 62  59
create index Subject_IDX on Tickets (Sub  8.297.12

If this is what you measured, the results look fairly competitive.
Thanks for performing this real-world test and posting this info.
