I really don't think the problem is that simple. How about either giving him a real answer or none at all?
Sigh. The malloc debugging options in 5.2.1 really will slow down userland programs which heavily utilize dynamic memory by a significant amount, as will kernel options used for debugging such as WITNESS and INVARIANTS.
It's not hard to measure these effects if you bother to try. If you want to test FreeBSD's performance in a meaningful fashion, and you are unwilling to disable the debugging options enabled in 5.x, using 4.10 is good advice. Or wait for 5.3 to finish the current beta testing cycle and be released, and then test that.
