Performance Tweaks - https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/packages/cache-proxy/tune.html#performance-tweaks

I am running a SG-6100. If i follow the advice and to set the kern.ipc.nmbclusters value to 32768 that is clearly to low for a system that comes with 8GB.
I run into Mbuf Exhaustion.

https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/hardware/tune.html#mbuf-exhaustion
- This link statues to set the value at least to a minimum of 1000000 which is what it is by default at least on the 6100

Request: Place a warning or a note in the Squid performance section that states that if you need to adjust this value to only do so IF your system has X amount of GB installed. Without a note, following the performance guide could lead to the instability of a system as the value is to low for most modern systems and Mbuf exhaustion could lead to kernel panics per documentation.
