If you run real RELENG_7 it have to be without debug in kernel, and in 
malloc,
nothing really to tune here :)

Just update your source tree to the latest RELENG_7 recompile and etc.

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-performance/2007-May/002664.html 
- here are my results with mysql with FreeBSD 6.2,
you can use it to see what I did and when I reach best performance.

 From what I remember to achieve good results you have to:
1) cp /usr/local/share/mysql/my-large.cnf /var/db/mysql/my.cnf
(or use huge if you have more one dual core CPUs)
2) sysctl kern.timecounter.hardware=TSC
3) changing default thread lib, but in RELENG_7 the fastest lib is used 
by default

compile 2 kernels with scheduler 4BSD and ULE and compare results :)

P.S. Do not forget to use the same version and compile options for mysql.
