    I have several heavily used NFS servers, currently running FreeBSD
    4.9-RELEASE. I'm getting jammed up with all my nfsd processes being
    busy, so clients see slow connections to the server. I have the nfsd
    starting with a count of 20, which is the max set in the nfsd.c file.

    Are there any risks I should be aware of before bumping up the max to
    say 40, or even 50?

    What would it take to make this a sysctl adjustable value?

    Should the max be bumped higher by default nowdays?

    Thanks - any help/hints is appreciated.

    Eric
