I had been working on some of this myself, however in a broader sense - 
covering not just network performance, but any kind of FreeBSD 
performance tuning.  Were you planning on hitting those other areas as 
well?  This could make a big difference on where it should go, or if it 
should be in a "higher level" section more to itself.

Also, I would say that there should be a little more info on "why" 
things are the way they are - several topics seem to state something, 
with no reasoning, which in this subject area is very important (I believe).
