I could confirm this thread:

That using FreeBSD + Apache/2.2.16 + MySQL 5.2 is deadly slow.
At the beginning I've done the test between different machines (which had similar hardware) with the same website/db. Difference: 1,5sec on Linux (Ubuntu), more than 5sec on FreeBSD.
I've tried to copy the same configs php.ini, my.cfg as I could, the same.
Then I've run VM (Linux Ubuntu) within VirtualBox on FreeBSD 8.1-STABLE on the same machine with the same repository files and database.
(doc - FreeBSD 8.1-"STABLE", doc.local.vm - VM (Linux Ubuntu) run on the same machine)
Here are the results:
1st attempt:
2nd attempt:
On VM:
Difference between 10sec and 1,7sec, how it's possible???
Usually it's between 5-10sec, on VM usually less than 2sec.
Some environment details:
No much difference between my.cnf
The only difference are Apache versions:
Apache/2.2.16 and Apache/2.2.9 (faster?!)
Any suggestion how to diagnose that problem and find the source of this issue?
P.S. I can't spend more hours for compiling or re-installing, changing. I already spend few days looking what's going on, why web performance on FreeBSD is so slow.
