No, many users, me included, only run FreeBSD on UP systems. Do I have to 
switch to (Net|Open|DragonFly)BSD because FreeBSD is now only targeted to MP? 
I do not think so, and thats why this benchmark does compare apples with 
apples, but these are microbenchmarks, and more complex tasks may show 
completely different results. I am also missing results with Linux (and other 
BSD's), which may better show our (FreeBSD's) position.
