Take a look at the following paper:

 Juan E. Navarro and Alan Cox. Mitosis: a high performance, scalable
 virtual memory system. Technical report TTR01-378, CS Dept., Rice
 University, April 2001. 

  http://www.cs.rice.edu/~jnavarro/papers/TR01-378.ps

Seems like FreeBSD performs rather well even with the inefficient
linked list structure.
