Hum. An offsite backup site was running FreeBSD 4.11-RC2 and as a wild 
hair, I decided to see if DragonFly BSD would be faster.
Before upgrading I ran a report that bangs pretty hard and ran it two 
times, then I timed it..

50.631u 82.018s 2:12.99 99.7%   845+592k 2+7io 0pf+0w

I then installed DragonFly BSD with the instructions at
http://www.dragonflybsd.org/docs/upgrade-freebsd.cgi

I then ran the same report once and it seemed much slower.
I ran it again and it still seemed slower. I then timed it the third time

55.288u 128.802s 3:04.85 99.5%  132+92k 1+7io 0pf+0w

Hum. At least in a uniprocessor environment it doesn't look so good.

YMMV and most likely bad results will since this is far from controlled 
deal.
