As mentioned in my initial mail, I did tune nmbclusters (you might say it's 
excessively high, 655360, but I still have 2.5 GB free memory on that machine.  
I forgot to mention, MTU is 1500 on all vlans, so there's no need for jumbo 
frames, only VLAN_MTU flag on the interfaces.  All interfaces have:

em0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        options=9b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM>
        ether 00:14:22:xx:xx:xx
        media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseTX <full-duplex>)
        status: active


Here's the output from netstat -m for reference:
