Do you run with a stock kernel if so then that would easily explain the difference. The newer linux's have a kernel HZ of 1000 where as FBSD has 100 this can easily be changed. 4.X requires a kernel recompile 5.X can be set it on boot. Some people go with 1000 HZ be we found that a number of servers use quite a bit more CPU when doing this so our default is 200 HZ which seems to give a good compromise.
If you have any questions feel free to ask or pop by #gspadmins on QuakeNet IRC.

I'm running 4.11-STABLE on dual Athlon platform. I've not wanted to disrupt long time existing customers to upgrade, because after my experience from 3.x to 4.x, I start with a clean slate on full version updates. I've got 5.4-STABLE on newer, non-gaming servers. I see a marked performance difference (client FPS, warping) with Doom3 on these FreeBSD machines as compared to the native Linux machines. I have seen less of a performance difference with HL2, but still a difference. I do not see this difference in the Q3 based servers. I have not tried to compare using FreeBSD 5.x. I'm running the base version 8 Linux emu. I should have also mentioned that I run UT2K4 in FreeBSD, and get similar performance on either platform.
