Well, I was going to run vimdiff on old / new output but it looks like
it is not necessary.
Can you do some dtrace profiling?
e.g. do
"
kldload dtraceall
cat > xx.d <<EOT
#!/usr/sbin/dtrace -s
fbt:kernel:rt_msg2:entry
{
stack();
}
fbt:kernel:rn_addroute:entry
{
stack();
}
EOT
dtrace -s xx.d
"
According to your stats, you're getting 52 requests per second, so It
won't take too long.
(and don't run utilities like route / netstat / ifconfig - they will
pollute the output).
Btw, you're not running ipfw with tables?
