I just went out and bought that book. It is titled "System Performance
Tuning," by Mike Loukides, published by O'Reilly, with a swordfish on
the cover.

It's 11 years old, which means it was pre-FreeBSD (indeed, even
pre-Linux!), but the main focus is 4.3BSD, which makes many aspects
still relevant. I am finding it to be an interesting read. It does some
comparison between Xenix, SunOS, BSD UNIX and System V (releases 3 and
4).
