Hi,

FreeBSD (PCBSD) is slower compared to Linux and kFreeBSD in this
benchmark of HIMENO:
http://openbenchmarking.org/prospect/1202215-BY-FREEBSD9683/88ac7a01c6cb355d7e7603224b2ee1e5a4cb881d
Also DragonFly BSD compares worse to kFreeBSD and Linux:

http://openbenchmarking.org/prospect/1206255-SU-DRAGONFLY55/88ac7a01c6cb355d7e7603224b2ee1e5a4cb881d

Matt, Venkatesh and Alex investigated this performance problem and
came to these results:
