Do you have Linux compatibility installed on the FreeBSD machine?

You should then be able to run the Linux binary to see what happens then.

I have had once the problem of a task moving from CPU to CPU and s 
performing badly on FreeBSD.

I am not informed how this is handled currently.

I also assume that this example is a single-threaded program which 
should perform just fine on single CPU machine.

One other thing, can you just boot up with one CPU and one core to see 
what happens then?
