    You could try adding/tweaking HZ to 1000/2000 in
    kernel and add kern.polling.enable=1 to
    /etc/sysctl.conf.

    Try adding:

    kern.ipc.somaxconn=2048
    kern.maxfiles=65536
    net.isr.enable=1

    to /etc/sysctl.conf as well. net.isr.enable gave
    better network-performance on a 5.3 RC3 nfs-server and
    lower cpu-usage.

    HTH.
