What is considered two high? Would that really cause a deadlock? Is  
there
a formula for determining what BUFCACHE or kern.maxvnodes set to?   
What would
be too low?  If the concern is that the BUFCACHE is too large or  
kern.maxvnodes
then how is that determined?  The default is 10055, is that too low?  
why is it
10055?  BUFCACHE I have set to 6 (%) in the kernel, can that be set  
via sysctl as well?

I should also note I have vfs.nfs.iothreads set to 0 and have had it  
that way for
a couple of years now.
