The difference in dsa/rsa tests is really significant.
I suggest You to run the test from FreeBSD-5.3-FixIt-CD:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/5.3/5.3-RELEASE-i386-disc2.iso

This will tell You where to search the source of the problem: hardware or software misconfiguration.

There are results of my system (desktop system "Compaq Evo D310": Pentium-IV 2400MHz 
512KB L2 cache 533MHz FSB w/o HTT, 256MB DDR266 RAM, Intel-845 chipset based MB)
booted from the CD:
