There has been a study published by the Gartner Group some month ago illustrating that a web server running Apache on FreeBSD can handle about 50% more requests per time unit than Apache on Linux (identical hardware, of course). I think, the URL was http://advisor.gartner.com/n_inbox/hotcontent/hc_2121999_3.html, but it seems to be outdated now.
