Re: Reserved FDs and CPU spikes

    Try increasing your maxusers parameter in your kernel (to 512), if this
is a busy server, you will need at least 8192 FD, I have this parameters in
my kernel:

maxusers 512
options NMBCLUSTERS=32768 #Support for 32K for MBufs

Normally my server uses ~3,000 FD, peak reported ~12,000 FD, I have
available 32,768 just in case.
