It provides a clear cut win when using ZFS, which performs a host of very different allocations.
Total page count after buildworld for 384 (if present) and 512 zones:
before: 29713
after: 25946
btw,
vm.uma.malloc_384.keg.domain.1.pages: 11621
vm.uma.malloc_384.keg.domain.0.pages: 11597
vm.uma.malloc_512.keg.domain.1.pages: 1280
vm.uma.malloc_512.keg.domain.0.pages: 1448
Adding more zones with smaller sizes led to inconclusive results, will have to be revisited.
