Nothing special:

  super-smack smacks/select-key.smack 4 1000

Or so; change the number of clients and iterations to taste; you'll note
performance does improve slightly with more clients up to the number of
CPU's and then drops slowly as you add more, with system load apparantly
not increasing a whole lot; I'm not even sure it got past 50% most of
the time, despite there being plenty of active clients.

It'd be interesting to see this comparison with PgSQL; super-smack
supports it, and as a preforking database server it might do better on
FreeBSD.
