Hmm, yeah, that's right.
It may be better to have a pointer to the description in chap-whatsnew,
though.

I think chap-boot isn't a right place to put this description,
because I guess the intention to use the environment variable
is to set this value per command basis.
I'm not sure where is the good place to add the description, though.

Hmm, I guess http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/tune/stune.html
may be better.
Is there any plan to have the "System Tuning" document (or entire
"NetBSD Tuning Guide") in the NetBSD guide?
