Hoard solves the heap contention problem caused when multiple threads call dynamic memory allocation functions like malloc() and free() (or new and delete). Hoard can dramatically improve the performance of multithreaded programs running on multiprocessors." It doesn't sound like it would help much under the current FreeBSD pthread implementation, because userland threads shouldn't suffer from multiprocessor contention.
