Not us, but GCC does not support anything over -O3.  -O4 and above are
treated as -O3.  I *really* wish people would have a clue with with in
the hell they think they are achieving with -O<bignum>.  Not all
optimizations are appropriate in all cases.  And given this level of
optimization and the fact that the linux box is probably a different
version of GCC, I wonder how much of this could be due to the compiler.

Please rerun your tests with '/usr/bin/time -l' on FreeBSD and however
you achieve the same on Linux.

P.S. are you sure you are swapping, vs. paging?
