In my further quest for desktop optimization, I looked into the PC-BSD sources. And, oh man, is trac awesome!! Anyway they added some options to the kernel:
but more importantly, the following entries in /boot/loader.conf and /etc/sysctl.conf respectively
I thought I'd share with you since these are "certified tweaks" if you will for desktop use as stated in the pc bsd wiki.
Cheers!
