In most cases, it will just run as fine as on Linux, sometimes it is even faster. The Linux compatibility is no emulation, it just translates syscalls, so you shouldn't notice a performance-hit in 99% of cases... but of course there are corner cases where it could be that the performance of your Linux-binary on FreeBSD is not 100% as fast as Linux. See the Handbook for a deeper understanding of how the Linux compatibility is working :) Cheers, steinex
