You can disable most of the debugging stuff with:
# /bin/rm -fr /etc/malloc.conf
# ln -s ajr /etc/malloc.conf
and then commenting our or deleting the following options from your
kernel config file:
%%%
makeoptions DEBUG=-g # Build kernel with gdb(1) debug symbols
options KDB # Enable kernel debugger support.
options DDB # Support DDB.
options GDB # Support remote GDB.
options INVARIANTS # Enable calls of extra sanity checking
options INVARIANT_SUPPORT # Extra sanity checks of internal structures, required by INVARIANTS
options WITNESS # Enable checks to detect deadlocks and cycles
options WITNESS_SKIPSPIN # Don't run witness on spinlocks for speed
%%%
Disabling all of these is certainly going to yield a faster system.

I'm not sure if the speed gain is significant and worth the risk.
I still use the same make.conf settings, shown below:
NO_CPU_CFLAGS= true # Don't add -march=<cpu> to CFLAGS automatically
NO_CPU_COPTFLAGS=true # Don't add -march=<cpu> to COPTFLAGS automatically
and I have commented out the CFLAGS and COPTFLAGS, the same way I did a
year ago and two years ago, etc.
