Apple thinks secret, but the net never forgets...
As I saw this coming, I kept a local copy, no idea how much of the thread will fit in one comment, here we go, there were more messages in the thread but nothing really brilliant as far as I remember :
Apple thinks secret, but the net never forgets...
Silly question, quite probably - but my rc file doesn't contain the line ConsoleMessage "Starting virtual memory" - it says echo "Starting Virtual Memory" (I'm running Panther). Is it safe to add the extra lines to the rc file just before this line?

Works just fine in Panther. I say "works" meaning it causes no ill effects. Whether it actually does anything is anyones guess. Just a note though - if you are running the default crontasks for os x that run at 3am or so - all bets are off. This process completely whacks out maxvnodes and when you get up in the morning it is ALWAYS at 100%. I guess I shouldn't say "whacks out" what I mean is - it completely obliterates any maxvnodes tuning you have done. Something about touching/accessing hundreds of files so I've read.
pstat -T = 51883 vnodes
I can confirm this. Don't know which script causes this, but I just entered the maxvnodes adjustment, then ran all 3 (daily, weekly, monthly) and now I get:
So... does someone more knowledgable want to comment on what this might mean in terms of performance?
