it is sysutils/stress (from ports: pkg_add stress )

Revelants options used:
     -v, --verbose
            be verbose

     -c, --cpu N
            spawn N workers spinning on sqrt()

     -i, --io N
            spawn N workers spinning on sync()

     -m, --vm N
            spawn N workers spinning on malloc()/free()

     --vm-bytes B
            malloc B bytes per vm worker (default is 256MB)

so it starts 8 processes (each doing one of cpu/io/vm work) to impose
load on system.
