MySQL's problems are supposed to be with libc_r threading, not kse threading. MySQL performance on FreeBSD has improved greatly over the past year. The fact that postgres may be a better database doesn't explain why mysql should run slower on freebsd. Are you confident that freebsd offers good performance with postgres? Anyway, if you compare solaris x86 to linux x86 it puts in a very respectable showing there.
