see the text that i previously wrote, above.
"underconfigured" means "configured for less of a load than it's
getting." In other words, if you're seeing that message relatively
often (e.g. because your machine is a network server that's heavily
pounded), then yes, you should up NMBCLUSTERS. If you're "not seeing
it that often," then i wouldn't worry about it.
