Thing is that GENERIC as installed out of the box should not take two minutes

when identical hardware with half the number of processor cores only takes
eleven seconds to do the same job. Something is wrong somewhere if doubling
your CPU's results in a factor of 12 slowdown surely?
Is it possible to disable one of the quad-core cpu's from bios? I have
a couple of DL360's myself but I haven't had the need to disable one
of the cpu's.
If so it could be interesting to see whether the specific task goes
slower/faster.
Yes, if the claim is that the hardware is absolutely identical apart
from one having two quad-core CPUs instead of two dual-core, the next
step is to disable half of the CPUs and confirm that the problem goes away.
Check dmesg for the APIC numbers corresponding to the CPUs you want to
disable and add the corresponding entries to /boot/loader.conf, e.g.:
hint.lapic.1.disable="1"
hint.lapic.3.disable="1"
hint.lapic.5.disable="1"
hint.lapic.7.disable="1"
