There is definitely hope, however changes to the FreeBSD vm are taken as
seriously as changes to core changes to Postresql's store. In addition
changes to vm is somewhat in the realm of complexity of Postgresql store
as well so it may not be coming in the next few days/weeks, but rather a
month or two. I am not sure if an easy fix is available in FreeBSD but
we will see in short order.
I need to do some research. I work with Adrian (FreeBSD kernel dev
mentioned earlier in the thread), I'll grab him today and discuss what
the issue may be.
