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).
