>give some better performance. BSDI has more device drivers, but a lot 

  If that were only so.  You shoud say that BSDI supports different things.
BSDI does not have support for:

  * Adaptec 2742, 2842, 2940
  * No PCI ethernet cards at all: including DEC based cards which FreeBSD
supports
  * No 100mbs ethernet support at all, including DEC and Intel cards which
FreeBSD supports
