The reason for me asking this is that FreeBSD has really shitty performance
when it comes to using loopback for any kind of communications.

Its about 8x faster on Linux to use the loopback device for communication 
between processes of parallel jobs using an MPI library.

That's why I ask.

This is a support list isn't it?  That would make it the right place to ask
such questions now wouldn't it.  

If you find that funny you can go elsewhere.
