Maximum numbers of nfsd processes bumped up

Hi there,
We have here a FreeBSD system which serves
for more than 369 days without interrupt as our
internal webserver nfs server.
We lately discovered more traffic to our sites and
therefor mor use of the nfsd processes.
That meens, 20 nfsd's aren't enough anymore !
On my spare system I compiled a new  kernel
with MAXASYNCNFSD (or so ..) = 256 and
patched /sbin/nfsd to accept this.
Are there any drawbacks from this ?

Thx in advance.

Cheers,
Stefan Sonnenberg-Carstens
