looks like they "improved" gcc. you can install older from ports.

I am using FreeBSD 7.0 in 64 BIT mode. Same code compiled on BSD 7.0 runs
50% speed (as expected by CPU and code architecture) compared to BSD 6.2.
Here is one real code with binary output. On 3.0 GHz Woodcrest processor, I
am able to copy from one cache to another cache at the speed of
24Gbytes/second verses 12 Gbytes/second. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
