I stumbled onto this and applied to settings to see if it makes any difference.

Has anyone else tried playing with this and noticed any difference?  It may be placebo, but I kinda feel web pages are loading every so slightly faster.

Yeah I already did that using my existing experience on FreeBSD, I suggest making sure bindthreads is set to 1 so TCP sessions are tied to a queue.

However for version 2.5 and above they say not to use the usual tweaks as all necessary improvements are made already, and there was degradation in speeds on 2.5 and presumably 2.6 above as well, likely due to security changes or fixes in FreeBSD.  One thing I've learnt over the years are that security issues when fixed never improve performance 

PPPoE is the main problem of course on FreeBSD for hitting performance, not much we can do about this apart from making sure the CPU has enough speed so it isn't an issue.
