The nasty surprise being which I note a notable reduction in the performances.
Could you post the output of 'dmesg'? What workload are you running on the box?
here it is :

looking at the administrative mail, i saw that I got this in the first dmesg after install (and so before kernel recompiling)
MPTable: <HP LT 6000 > FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor System Detected: 4 CPUs cpu0 (BSP): APIC ID: 0 cpu1 (AP): APIC ID: 1 cpu2 (AP): APIC ID: 2 cpu3 (AP): APIC ID: 4
then
cpu1 on motherboard cpu2 on motherboard cpu3 on motherboard
and at the end :
SMP: AP CPU #1 Launched! SMP: AP CPU #2 Launched! SMP: AP CPU #3 Launched!
guess that something is missing in the kernel :(
