From 5b26e8496891ecb7735c779bec5c3f75e39bdc1c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Poul-Henning Kamp <phk@FreeBSD.org>

Subject: 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

Suggested by: alc (&dyson ?)
