The common wisdom has been that FreeBSD 4.11 is faster than 5.4 on single processor systems. Imagine my surprise when I went and actually benchmarked this on the package build machines, and found that 5.4 outperforms 4.11 by at least 10% when performing identical workloads on identical UP hardware :-) Stay tuned for more details...
