There are some parameters with respect to the shared memory log we
have not tuned yet, the most important one being the size of the
shared memory we use.

If you look at the end of varnishd.c you will find a line like this:

        VSL_MgtInit(SHMLOG_FILENAME, 8*1024*1024);

That sets the size to 8MB.  Apart from some RAM/disk space, there
is no penalty for increasing that size, so give it a fact 10 and
see if that helps.
