systat -mbufs shows a huge number

Here is the output from 'systat -mbufs':
Code:
                    /0   /1   /2   /3   /4   /5   /6   /7   /8   /9   /10
     Load Average   ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||                         

          /0   /5   /10  /15  /20  /25  /30  /35  /40  /45  /50  /55  /60
Mbufs     XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 42949571

'netstat -m' seems normal:

Code:

This FreeBSD 6.3 box is taking a heavy beating from several users running a CGI via apache2. I'm curious if this huge mbuf number is actually bad, and if so, what can I do to fix it?
