Note that rTorrent has hash performance issues on BSD systems.
Please refer to these links for further information:
* http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/wiki/RTorrentPerformanceTuning
An example configuration file has been installed in
${TRUEPREFIX}/share/examples/rtorrent. It may serve as a starting point
for tweaking rTorrent performance.
What about the diff below?
After careful googling, those seem to be the values most people out
there are using on {Free,Open}BSD systems...
Ciao!
