I had to go much lower...  I use 1024...

But.. I have a LOT of ZFS filesets...

% zfs list | wc
     136     680   14430

... and snapshots...

% zfs list -t snapshot | wc
     138     690   13257

and clones.  All of that might matter.  I also run with less memory than
Greg, with just 16GB in the DOMU.

I am pretty sure that a 4GB DOMU won't even make it though the daily
cronjobs if there are a number of ZFS filesets that have a lot of files
in them.... like the source trees, for example.
