Hey Maxim,

I want to thank you again for all of your time and effort looking into this. It's been extremely helpful. Really... thank you!

According to the man page, changing the junk setting is for debugging and would have negative impacts on performance.

And the same is basically true for the mmap threshold settings. I'd really like to find a way to deal with this in a way that doesn't have a negative impact on performance.

Combine all of that with the fact that this issue happens on all systems and that the direct competitor doesn't have this issue, that makes me think this is something that Nginx needs to address directly.

After all, how can it be a system level issue if it happens on ALL systems? It has to be a problem in Nginx itself in my view.

What are your thoughts on that?

Thanks!
