You might look at ps or top for lots of stuck processes generated by something 
which are blocking.  Basicly, the system has a limit on how much memory can be 
used to connect stages of pipelines between processes.

Take a look at "sysctl kern.ipc", or more specificly:

	"sysctl kern.ipc | grep kva"

PS: "man tuning" is likely to be informative.  :-)
