I can only recommend switch to amd64 kernel, PAE is IMHO only such kind of
hack that is sometimes working.

And also try to off HT (HyperThreading) in BIOS. There are some voices and
also my own experience that FreeBSD SMP (5.x, 6.x) is working better
without HT (HT should be off). Maybe you can find also some benchmarks
that this can proof. Or try to do some your own real-application
benchmark.
