How high did you raise PMAP_SHPGPERPROC? We raised it to 250 on our
stock PostgreSQL systems and did not have to tweak any other values.

Note that we're running 6.x on these systems, so YMMV.

Probably -hackers@. Although I would have started with -questions@

Mr Moran, did you set up any other sysctl mib such as the mentioned ones?

I have raised it to "500". If I set lower values, around 400 I start
getting a huge flood of:

collecting pv entries -- suggest increasing PMAP_SHPGPERPROC
collecting pv entries -- suggest increasing PMAP_SHPGPERPROC

Specially on "apachectl graceful" signaling. If I raise it over 500 my
system panics on boot.

I still get "collecting pv entries -- suggest increasing
PMAP_SHPGPERPROC" at the current setup value, however not very often.
