First off, apologies to Luigi, I was shooting off my mouth.
Second off:

When I proposed this before there was a bit of a debate about
needing to increase clusters and MBUF's. To summarize, I think
we took the following away from it:
* For most users it makes no difference, as they are far from the
limits.
* This will make a small number of people who aren't hitting
limits now hit an MBUF limit.
- These people probably need increases anyway, as they are
too close to the limit now.
- Hitting the MBUF limit is fairly, well, harsh, and we might
want to add syslog or other logged warnings at like 90%
utilization or something.
At a minimum I think:
* There needs to be a note in the errata for the release this
goes in mentioning more MBUF's might be needed.
* LINT should be updated with a comment and a value 2 to 4 times
GENERIC's default as the default listed value.
* The logging at 90% usage should be investigated. I can probably
generate patches for that over the weekend, provided I can find
a good way to rate limit them.
