Philosophy aside, my server is 32-thread (2x8x2 Xeon) with 64 GB of ECC RAM. It's an oldie, but still a reliable workhorse. (Pepperidge Farm remembers what that used to be a lot of RAM.)
On FreeNAS and CORE I used the autotune parameter for years and never had any problems. I thought it was supposed to update some kernel parameters to take advantage of that large amount of RAM, etc.
Now on SCALE I notice a couple things:

Thanks!
