Q: Which is faster, a Ferrari or a Yugo? A: How heavy is the traffic? These are essentially unanswerable questions that depend very largely on your application suite. Moreover, the only part that's specifically relevant to FreeBSD is the CPU type architecture; the difference between P3 and P4 support/optimization and support for hyperthreading. You need to do some testing on your own; at least to identify the bottleneck in your existing installation.
