I was running a niced seti during the runs on both the Linux and FreeBSD box. It looks like the "niceness" on FreeBSD is problematic. New numbers without seti: Linux - 39 minutes FreeBSD no tweaks - 43 minutes FreeBSD memory tmp - 38 minutes Looks like the systems are pretty close. I just need to remember to kill seti on FreeBSD before compiling. :-) Now if I can figure out the eepro100 problem, I can do this SMP.
