+  <listitem>
+   <para>
+    Accept filters reduce the number of context switches by not
+    passing sockets for new connections to Privoxy until a complete
+    HTTP request is available.
+   </para>
+   <para>
+    As a result, Privoxy can process the whole request right away
+    without having to wait for additional data first.
+   </para>
+   <para>
+    For this option to work, Privoxy has to be compiled with
+    FEATURE_ACCEPT_FILTER and the operating system has to support
+    it (which may require loading a kernel module).
+   </para>
+   <para>
+    Currently accept filters are only supported on FreeBSD-based
+    systems. Check the
+    <ulink url="https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=accf_http">accf_http(9)
+     man page</ulink>
+    to learn how to enable the support in the operating system.
