i always limit it by
kern.maxbcache=20000000
on 1GB RAM machine with lots of I/O but actually with default MAXBSIZE and
little I/O you can use safely 1MB
It DOES NOT limit how much files are cached.
But still - in spite of that i have a lot of wired memory.
still it is bad nobody answered how to pin down "wired" memory use.
instead of experimenting i would like rather to understand what is what.
