Disable the "Hint" option in phkmalloc as default. Recent VM system
changes have made this too expensive. This gains about 1.25% on
worldstone on my SMP machine.
Swap-less machines, for instance PicoBSDs, and machines which experience
page-out trafic, check with top(1), will probably want to reenable this
with:
ln -s H /etc/malloc.conf
