It will create UFS1 filesystem, which won't be slower in case of small files (it will be with very large), but one inode takes 128, not 256 bytes, which will make huge difference !!! use -m 0 or -m <very little> as probably you control it yourself what's put here, and extra fragmentation or mostly-full FS won't exist with really small files. just fsck will take a lot of time, you may try gjournal or simply accept it, as FreeBSD don't crash often :)
