Leaving vm.filemax that large isn't a good thing.
Also, increasing vm.exec{min,max} often causes bad effect on
machines which are really tight about free memory (because
it may make anonymous pages paged out).

At least Chuq's proposal in the following mail is more reasonable:

Or, if you have spare time, could you test the other values
in the end of the following mail as well?
