Uh, you're running an amd64 build on top of an Intel CPU? I didn't think FBSD would allow that, but if it does it wouldn't surprise me if kernel/OS performance stunk. If Postgres then used the same settings it would make matters even worse (IIRC there is some code that's different in an AMD vs Intel build).
