I was set to some value > 200000. I trimmed it down to 64000.
Caches vnodes help if I access many different files concurrently?

The machine hosts a heavy loaded ftp server, but I guess 200000
is a very very high value. Is there some way to check the 
vnode cache utilization? Maybe with vmstat -m ....

Thanks,
 Daniel
