I'd be happy to take on more cvsupd clients if you want, lately I've 
been getting around 550 working clients per day and it feels like 
nothing (cvsup15.freebsd.org).  I have 20G of ram in the system and 
lately a lot of the cvsup data seems to get cached. Plenty of CPU to go 
around too.

What would you recommend for kern.maxvnodes?  Thanks
