you might want to look at tuning the vm.{anon,exec,file}{min,max}
values... increase anon & exec and reduce file... note that "max"
is not a complete upper limit, but anything above it's "max" can
expect it's pages reclaimed any time...


netbsd could benefit from some better self-tuning here, but it's
not clear or simple exactly how to do it best..

Yeah, try the following settings, for example:
sysctl -w vm.filemin=2
sysctl -w vm.filemax=4
