Thank you for the reply.

Unfortunately, dont know why, but on my xen virtualised environment, fbsd 
amd64 domU performs much slower, not only 30 times. Without multilabel, 
file creation speed is around 2500/s, but with multilabels enabled, it is 
only 15/s (!). so it is more than 100 times slower.

And anyway freebsd is known to be fast as well, as functional. The power 
to serve. :)

But in my environment, 15/s file creation is very-very slow. The hardware 
is a q6700 cpu with 4G ram, 2x1T sata disks in raid1, the host runs linux. 
I think with this hw the mentioned speed is really slow.
