We should probably stay with 9.2 until we have a way to default to sysv on FreeBSD releases that do not have their mmap performance fixed.

There may be some performance differences between Postgres 9.3 and Postgres 9.2 on FreeBSD but it's nothing compared to the gap between FreeBSD and Linux. -- Francois Tigeot
