Oh puh, I never did benchmarks (on the rpi) but had the exact same impression...much, much faster, I use my rpi4 as a backup nas with nfs and ufs2 on the external drive, and the transfer speed was much faster than linux's, also it "feels" much faster to do anything...again I had not done any benchmarks on the rpi. And I have not even touched "kern.sched.preempt_thresh" as this is not a desktop system. What also impresses me is that you can load a FreeBSD system to 5x maxload (or much more) and it's still usable, with Linux you have horrible stuttering (on a desktop system).
