In my experience across a wide range of hardware FreeBSD dramatically outperforms Linux when the concurrent processing load is high or there is significant memory pressure.
While Linux is way more popular because of hardware support, lxc/lxd/Docker and various user friendly features, FreeBSD performs considerably better in my experience for heavy processing workloads.
