I ran the tiobench test on -CURRENT a few days ago and the ahci driver showed an improvement in latency over the ata driver; I didn't test transfer rates though.
I was running the AHCI driver on the freebsd-current tinderbox for 3 weeks with very good results. I had to recently change back to the ata code as smartmontools are not (yet) supported and one of the drives started to throw errors. Other than that, I found it to be the same speed or faster (depending on the workload). This was on a Phenom 9950 Processor and ATI IXP700/800 SATA300 chipset on AMD64, 8G of RAM.
