In my own experience and from anecdotal stories from others, FreeBSD has no performance hit when running Linux programs. Actually, from everything, I know/hear, Linux programs actually run faster on FreeBSD than on native Linux. This is because FreeBSD itself is a faster OS than most Linii (or Linuxes?) and the Linux compability is just an extremely thin wrapper on top of it. Don't get me wrong here though, I have yet to see any benchmarks/statistics to factually prove this. All of my reasons to believe this to be true is because of personal experience and anecdotal stories from others.
