Linux vs FreeBSD Performance

Subject: Linux vs FreeBSD Performance
Date: Wed, 20 Feb 2008 10:33:58 -0600 (CST)
I'm running the current version of nessus on an x86_64 linux system and 
was comparing it to my coworker who runs FreeBSD.  We both have the same 
hardware but he can have his system set to 70/30 on the hosts/checks and 
still have an extremely response system and no false positives in the 
scan results. If I try to even set anything close to those my system 
grinds to a halt and the results are extremely suspect.

The question I have is what tuning can I do on Linux systems to make the 
performance somewhat similar.  I'm guessing that I won't be able to  match
it because of the differences between the OS's network stack and  kernel.
