This could be something I am facing. I noticed that when I run vmstat while running this code, on linux, there's hardly any perceptible difference in the number of context switches, but on freebsd, the number of context switches in the system seems to go up a bit. However, this is not very reliable.

While I have not tried it on this machine, on a single cpu machine, the non-SMP build of freebsd seems to perform as well as linux for this kind of test.
