This is where this benchmark gets in, not in compile time, again has nothing to do with it, all the problem begins when HINT (a 9kb executable) is running and it tells you how much the hardware can do in intervals of time but the point is that in the same machine FreeBSD has a better performance than linux, HINT overloads tha machine to its maximum running floating point operations and it fill the L1 cache then the L2 cache then RAM and then swap, then it finished telling you how much your machine do. If somebody though about the poor linux performance in this area i think we can achieve a better in unbeatable OS.
