Apparently increasing the input queue had no effect on the output drops.
Besides, net.inet.ip.intr_queue_drops has only reached 70 for 6 days of 
uptime.

I'll soon be rebooting to change HZ 1000 -> 2000, and we'll see how that 
goes. There must be some global limit, not nmbclusters, not per-user 
output queues, not the interface input queue, but something else that 
triggers at around 360-370 mbit/s...
