Want to know how much memory (in bytes) your machine has installed? Let
sysctl(8) tell you with the following command:

sysctl hw.physmem
sysctl hw.realmem

The realmem value is memory before the kernel and modules are loaded, whereas
hw.physmem is what is left after they were loaded.

The number of active CPUs is displayed using this command:

sysctl hw.ncpu

When using ZFS as the file system the "df" command will display confusing
values. Use the built-in "zfs list" command to get an overview of space usage:
When using ZFS as the file system the "df" command is reporting the pool size
and not file system sizes. It also does not know about descendent ZFS
datasets, snapshots, quotas, and reservations with their individual space usage.
Use the built-in "zfs list" command to get a better overview of space usage:

zfs list -o space

To learn more about what your system is doing, take a look at systat(1). For
example, to get an overview of I/O happening in the system, run:
example, to get various of statistics related to virtual memory usage, process
scheduling, device interrupts, system name translation caching, and disk I/O,
enter the following:

systat -iostat
systat -vmstat

vmstat, or zarc. You can switch between displays using :<display> and exit
