A wild idea that might not help: try reducing kern.hz in loader.conf to
something like 100 and see if something significant changes.
Now it runs with hz=100, number of context switches became ~ 2 times
less, but still there's 90% system CPU load (see attach).

System CPU usage doesn't tell you anything by itself, you need to look at how much work the system is actually doing (pages served/second, or whatever). For example, when your kernel is getting more work done, system CPU usage will also be higher.
Usually on PHP backends slow PHP code eats most of the CPU time. I have %user much bigger than %system in CPU states.

But now %system is much bigger than %user and I can conclude that on 8-core server FreeBSD consumes more CPU time than PHP.
