I finally found out whats going on there by looking at the FreeSBIE
kernel config:
        
http://cvs.gufi.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/freesbie/files/FREESBIE.5?rev=1.15&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup
 It uses:
        options     HZ=5000

 And the on the linux host the problem is just less obvious because
I'm running a 2.6 kernel there which by default uses 1000 (AFAIK),
instead of 100 like FreeBSD by default uses.

 Heh :)
