The overhead comes from badly written software. This software is optimized for linux and you have to optimize it for freebsd, then you will have the same overhead. All those *popular* benchmarks like hping, iperf, netperf have some strange optimizations for linux - we call them linuxism. Just search the archives - I'm pretty sure patches are flying around.
