If Linux is running qmail it would have a lot to do with it, but assuming sendmail on both, was Linux running a name server and FreeBSD not? Sendmail really slows down when its not running on a name server. We had to run DNS on our mailing list box in a "Cache" mode. It made a world of difference to sendmail. You gotta make sure your running with the same configuration. Caching, swap, memory, async mounts, and other thing will have an effect. To compare OS's, you need to be on the same hardware, same setup, and make sure the tests are compatiable.
