Maximum Transfer Size, ATA, and UFS2, was lowered? How?

[David Kelly]

I have been watching the maximum "KB/t" for devices using "systat -v". 
A week or two ago prompted by other messages here experimented with 
"tunefs -m 5 ad0s1f" and very shortly thereafter restored it to the 
original value of 8. Previously 127 KB/t was often seen for large file 
actions. Currently seems that the limit has been dropped from 128k to 
64k. All I can think that I did was flip the minfree percentage using 
tunefs from 8 to 5 and back to 8. How can I restore the fs 
characteristics back to normal?

System is 5.2.1-p9. More possibly useful information:
